BC Soccer announces Phase #2 of the Return to Play Plan for Soccer!

As we look forward to getting back on the field here is some information regarding the Community Coaching Courses. The classroom portion is now on line and free for a limited time! https://bcsoccer.net/register-for-a-course

Here is an update from LISA on the current situation. The clubs and their technical staff are working with LISA to get ready to return to soccer, hopefully in September. We are closely following the guidelines from BC Soccer with regard to a return to play and we know that everyone is looking forward to getting back on the field. As we get closer to the start of soccer we would like to remind you that BC Soccer guidelines prohibit games of any kind at this time. We are gettin...g reports of unsanctioned pick up soccer games taking place in different areas of the city and we are now concerned with the increasing number of reports that we are receiving. We would like to ask you to think twice about taking part in these events as this may lead to an outbreak in our city. We have all seen what can happen when people make poor choices around COVID and we don’t want to see soccer be responsible for such an outbreak on the Island. We believe that it is our responsibility as a soccer community to follow the rules and be thoughtful members of the greater sporting community of Victoria. We all want to see organized sport again, so we ask you to stay away from any unsanctioned soccer activities until we get positive news from BC Soccer and the BC Government. See more

He featured for the Victoria Vistas and played on the local all-stars team that played Chelsea, Dundee United and the Vancouver 86ers. .
