    BCSPL's Mountain United FC rebrands

    They changed the logo, colour and concept due the knowledge of North Shore getting a BCSPL birth in the near future. MUFC wanted to make sure there was differentials within the two clubs that are located in the same region. Makes sense once you know what happened.

    Apparently it's okay to post that for the public to see and decide if it's for them but others get banned for posting simple links. Both are "advertising"

    Vancouver YSA AGM - 2nd MSL Club?

    Maple Ridge district is smaller, you are correct and is why I had a problem with the current system. They have a smaller demographic yet are only allowed 5 out of district players? While Coquitlam Metro Ford has quite the pick of the litter and can have 5 out of district. No wonder at times its...

    New Soccer Parent - Need some advice on future

    100% disagree... I say that because my environments are extremely technical, high tempo, high standards with competitive elements yet I know how to make it fun. This is why we talk about pro coaches lately on this website. Pro coaches know how to make it challenging, technical developing yet...

    Top Class! Sprinkle some of the DBF criteria, infrastructure and mentality and we would be on the right path. Get all coaches to the National B or A level (I personally take USSF Courses) and over the next ten years we will start looking like what Iceland is today.

    Hi! I Am a Not For Profit Association

    Not saying your wrong but after seeing a multiple of people craft up their own level infrastructure I am now curious. Where does it come from? Are you just basing your level table from your knowledge of soccer and the lower mainland or does it stem from what another soccer respected country does...

    Vancouver YSA AGM - 2nd MSL Club?

    I didn't want to make a new thread since my next question / statement correlates with this topic. From my understanding, BC Soccer has inputted set boundaries / districts on Clubs and only allowing 5 out of district players per team. I understand the concept of what BC Soccer is trying to...

    New Soccer Parent - Need some advice on future

    Not every player or household has a recreational mindset. Even at age 9 you can be competitive and strive to be the best in your sport. Imagine we had this mindset in school, it wouldn't be acceptable.

    Hi! I Am a Not For Profit Association

    Unfortunately it is that system here in Canada, this isn't Sao Paulo, Brazil or London England where there is ten clubs within 25km radius ranging from div 1 to 4. There is organizations that help pay for kids sports once a low income t4 is submitted.

    Hi! I Am a Not For Profit Association

    Well, your post kinda proved what the issue is.... Standards on the performance / development side are weak. I say weak because I am comparing them to what other youth clubs do around the world. If we are talking about the "Performance Division" of the club than having 2 training sessions per...

    Hi! I Am a Not For Profit Association

    I have realized this is the best solution by far... And actually love the idea. I'm tired of this system and my mission since retiring from the professional world is to change this in B.C. Soccer.

    Hi! I Am a Not For Profit Association

    Because it becomes a water down system and doesn't match what is done in the rest of the world. Hence the 112th Fifa Ranking.

    Hi! I Am a Not For Profit Association

    I was going to write a long drawn out, cynical post but decided to go another direction and just ask a question to gather opinions and comments. If a not for profit organization has 1000 kids for example and sorts out the: Members, Coaches, Equipment and Fields however realizes that a QUALITY...
