October is when league play is up and running across the country, with some provinces adjusting their age groups to U16 for the 2025/26 season. For the U15 (2010) girls, August was highlighted by the inaugural PDP Cup, which brought together the nation’s top programs in a true test of depth, skill, and resilience. Now, with league playoffs underway, showcase tournaments like the FTF Fall Showdown concluded, the national picture continues to evolve.
