Beaverlodge Soccer Commitee
We are volunteers who organize outdoor soccer practice and games for the children of Beaverlodge, Hythe, Wembley, Valhalla, and the surrounding areas. Children from ages 4 to 16 participate during the spring soccer season from the end of April to the end of June. This year we are also trying out fall soccer for the older age groups.
Why Swan City FC?
To ensure Soccer stays here in Beaverlodge for this year and future years we have formed a partnership with the Swan City Football Club. This enables us to reduce the burden on volunteers and avoid the overhead of running a non-profit association, while keeping a local soccer program suported by the community.
Fall Season Details: starting Sept 12, 2023
Weather Policy:
We play unless it is Storming Heavily or there is Lightning. However, U5 director may decide whether or not that age group will play.
In the event of a decision to cancel a game due to weather, the decision will be made at 5:00 pm and notification will begin shortly after. Notice of cancellations will be posted on the Beaverlodge Soccer Facebook page. Team Coaches may notify the players on their team by phone.
What is different this year?
We are glad that Swan City FC made it possible for us to have a season this year. They will provide training and lesson plans for coaches. There will also be a few other changes from the past:
- This year our players will not be divided up into teams, each age group will practice together and split into teams for games.
- We will be playing at the Beaverlodge Elementary school. A couple weeks later we will be moving locations. This is so that town representatives responsible for recreational sports development, can see how fields need to be developed and what we need as a club from a location.
- Sponsor’s names and logos will not be on team shirts, they will be represented at the games in some other manner.
- Due to time and planning constraints, we will not be having a registration night or a picture night, registration will be online only.
