Click on Clubs on the left hand side of the Home page, then click on a club closest to you at the top of the next page.

FYI There is no club in the Vancouver downtown area. The club that’s closest to the west side of Vancouver is Vancouver United FC. Or you can contact any other club listed at the top of the second page.

District organized soccer is for players from 5 to 17 years old and starts in September through March.
Contact the Club closest to you to see if they have a team in your child's age level.

Although some clubs have teams for players younger than 5, you can also contact your local community centre to see if they run a "little kickers" type of program.

FA Respect Campaign

The following questions are meant to get everyone thinking about their responsibility as a club, a team official, player or spectator to make the game of soccer a pleasant experience for all – including the game official.

  • Have you read the league guide?
  • Have you read portions of the league guide?
  • Have you ever gone onto the district website to see what information is posted there?
  • Do you hold a team meeting with the players and their parents prior to the start of the season? this is strongly advised.
  • Do all of your players know what the red card offenses are?
  • Do your parents know they are at the games to support the players with positive comments only and that negative commentary to the referee or opposing teams is not acceptable?
  • Do the parents/fans know it's not their job to coach the playrs? It's too confusing to the players and disrespectful to the assigned coaching staff.
  • Team supporters should be instructed to say only positive things - or not say anything at all.
