FAQ:

A: Yes. We welcome players of all levels of experience to join our club.
2. Where do Foundation Phase teams play?
A: Foundation Phase teams will play in our House League on the Sunshine Coast. Games are played in Gibsons, Roberts Creek & Sechelt throughout the season that runs September to March. The aim is to have teams play in all communities equally, however, field closures sometimes effect the balance.
3. Can my child request a friend to play with?
A: While player rotation is central to the program, friend requests will still be considered weekly, as we recognize how important friendships are at this age. Every effort will also be made to ensure each child is grouped with at least one friend every week. At the same time, this model broadens social opportunities by encouraging children to build new friendships and connections throughout the season.

A: Teams at this age practice & play a game on either Saturday (boys) or Sunday (girls). Teams will also have Age Group Development sessions led by staff coaches, provided a few times a season.

A: Players register in their applicable age group on our registration page. Players will then be assigned to teams at the field each week.
