GAME AND PRACTICE DAYS / TIMES OUTLINED BELOW MAY BE SUBJECT TO REVISION.

Season Kickoff: Saturday September 14

The first few weeks of September provides the Club an opportunity to assess players and set balanced teams and schedules. On September 14 and September 21, AYSC’s Club coaches will be running station-based “skills and drills” with all players and volunteer Team Leaders.

Players will be assigned a team at the end of September, and a formal game schedule will be released at that time.

Uniforms

All players will be provided with jerseys, shorts, and socks. Games may be played with one team wearing pinnies. Some temporary player shuffling may occur in-game to promote fair play, per BC Soccer guidelines.

Uniforms will be handed out once teams are formed.

Holidays

There will be no AYSC activities on the Thanksgiving weekend.

AYSC activities will take place on the long weekends associated with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in September and Remembrance Day in November, with acknowledgment activities taking place before activities.

The season will break for the Christmas holidays (last session Saturday December 21, 2024).

U11 to U15 (Divisional Soccer)

Competitive Soccer

Aldergrove Youth Soccer Club’s Fall U11 to U15 Divisional Soccer program (sometimes referred to as “traveling teams”), endorsed and approved by BC Soccer, puts an emphasis on increasing players’ soccer skills in a competitive environment.

U11-U15

  • game outdoors on Saturday or Sunday depending on age group from September to February
  • teams practice outdoors one or two times per week; practice days / times are subject to registration numbers and field space provided by the Township of Langley
  • season ends at end of February

Optional Training Opportunities

AYSC will offer optional training led by Club Coaches to those AYSC players who are looking to improve their skills. Dates, times, fees, and payment details will be communicated once the season is underway.

Volunteer Team Leaders / Assistant Leaders Needed

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE REQUIRE VOLUNTEER TEAM LEADERS / ASSISTANT LEADERS. As work schedules and illness sometimes prevent volunteers from being available, we aim to have a minimum of two Team Leaders for every team, to ensure continuity of direction for the players. One of the biggest challenges we have in organizing the season is that not enough volunteers step forward early enough. WE CANNOT CREATE TEAMS OR SCHEDULES UNTIL WE HAVE VOLUNTEER TEAM LEADERS, IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

Please indicate on the form when registering if you are willing to volunteer.

Are games played in the rain / snow?

Games are played regardless of the degree of rain. However, fields are sometimes closed by the Township of Langley due to too much water on the field.
