Vancouver United FC
VanU is one of the largest soccer clubs in the Lower Mainland with over 3000 boys and girls from the ages of three to 17 playing at the U4 to U18 levels from the Vancouver area.
History
Vancouver United Football Club (VanU) was founded in 2011 as a result of joining three long-standing west side Vancouver clubs - Dunbar Soccer Association, Kerrisdale Soccer Club, and Point Grey Soccer Association. The founding clubs go back to the late 1950’s, and VanU inherited from these clubs a long tradition of strongly engaged players and teams, community involvement, supportive families, and a large number of volunteers.
VanU is one of the largest soccer clubs in the Lower Mainland with approximately 3000 boys and girls from the ages of three to 17 playing at the U4 to U18 levels. The club also hosts teams for women playing in their respective adult leagues. While most of the players are from the west side of Vancouver, there are many players from throughout the Vancouver area.
Location
Practices and home games use artificial turf fields at UBC, Jericho, South Memorial, Trillium, Point Grey Secondary and UHill Secondary. We also use grass and all-weather fields at numerous local elementary schools and Vancouver Park Board fields. VanU has over 500 volunteers as team coaches and managers, age group coordinators and Board members who help to ensure our players and families have a positive and memorable experience in the soccer community.
Programs
The club currently operates teams at House (U6-U10), 8 a Side (U11-U12) and Divisional (U13 –U18) that participate at Gold, Silver and Bronze levels or Divisions One to Eight in leagues that play in the Lower Mainland. The clubs operates separate neighbourhood houses at the U6-U10 level representing the three founding clubs (Dunbar, Kerrisdale and Point Grey). The creation of the separate neighbourhood houses allow for families to have their respective games at the younger age groups closer to home. At the U11 to U18 level, the club will have over 120 teams participating in the BC Coastal Girls Soccer league, 4 District Soccer League (Boys), and the local Vancouver Youth Soccer leagues for U11 and U12 teams.
