Recreational - BCCSL Div 3 U11-U18
Soccer should be something players enjoy and feel excited about each week. Our Recreational Program provides a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment where girls can develop skills, build confidence, and create lasting friendships.
We welcome players of all abilities and experience levels. Whether a player is new to soccer or returning, the focus remains on enjoyment, development, and long-term participation. We encourage multi-sport athletes and believe variety supports healthy, motivated players.
From U6 through U18, our program teaches more than soccer. Players learn teamwork, resilience, and leadership while forming strong connections with teammates and coaches, all skills that stay with them on and off the field.
