Marine Harvest Upper Island Riptide From then to now - The Riptide back story

From then to now: Conception Fall 2010, The Upper Island Riptide, like many famous football clubs was conceived in a pub! With the formation of the BCSPL Wave tier one team to represent the Island, it became apparent that the level between Tier one and B-cup would need to be expanded in order to develop players for the more competitive environment at tier one. Over the course of three or four meetings at the local pub the founders of VIPL in the Upper Island came up with the framework to present to the Member Clubs. The key components to the framework included; Open boundaries and player pathway established A set of guiding principles that form the UISA mission statement for VIPL Two geographically separated franchises Steering committee for each franchise with equal representation from each of it’s clubs Players retain home club identity and support

From then to now: Governance Riptide Steering Committee: There are two VIPL franchises in the Upper Island. Upper Island Storm and Upper Island Riptide. The membership of the VIPL North Zonal Committee shall be comprised of a minimum of 4 members to a maximum of 6 members. The Chair shall be a member of the UISA Executive.

From then to now: Philosophy Riptide Mission Statement: The Riptide Program is built on the UISA Vancouver Island Premier League (VIPL) Regional Team Program’s three guiding principles: Attainability, Accessibility, and Player-Based. The Riptide program will allow Upper Island players the ability to move along a developmental pathway from our current Club/House system, up through our UISA Development Leagues, and into the Riptide program. This will ensure the small step up to the EA Sports BC Soccer Premier League is attainable for our Riptide players.

From then to now: Player Pathway Open boundaries and Player pathway; In an effort to make sure all players in the Upper Island District had a chance to play VIPL the decision was made to have open boundaries at this level. No matter where a player lives they have the opportunity to be evaluated for both the Riptide and Storm. The elimination of club boundaries, the formation of the Vancouver Island Premier League and the two UISA franchises solidified the player pathway from Club to BCSPL.

From then to now: The in between The Upper Island Riptide started its first season in 2011/12. We fielded teams in the /98 and /97 age groups. In the first season our U15 boys went undefeated and was the first Riptide team to qualify for A-cup Provincials where they earned a bronze medal.

Riptide Now Ten Months of Coach and Player Development With the Generous support of our corporate sponsor Marine harvest Canada we are pleased to offer the Riptide Ten Month Program for our U14 to U16 Players. The program will run September to June and provides VIPL League and Cup play as well as the Riptide Spring Academy . This Program will provide all VIPL players enhanced access to player development that will ensure they are working on both age specific technique as well as appropriate tactics for their capabilities. In addition, this ten month vertical training program will ensure players develop in a responsible environment. It will include the appropriate use of the five phases of training: • General Prepatory Phase (learn to train) • Transition Phase (rest and recovery) • Specific Prepatory Phase (train to train) • Pre-competition Phase (train to compete) • Competition Phase (train to win) These five phases will be applied in a three part program: • Part One – April to June: General and specific Prepatory and Transition Phase. This part allows players to develop within a less competitive environment where the key technical components of player development are the focus. • Part Two – Late August to December: General and Specific Prepatory Phase followed by a Transition Phase. This part allows players to develop within a league environment. • Part Three – January to March: Pre-competition and Competition Phases. This is also followed by a Transition Phase. This part is where players are training to compete in cup play and potentially qualify for the Coastal Cup and/or the Provincial Championships.
