We are proud to offer gender specific teams as well as co-ed teams.

​

Your child's enrolment in the VRFC Academy will include:

1) Two training sessions per week

Our team training will take place on Monday and Friday evenings at UBC's MacInnes Field.

 

Monday evening classes will focus on foundational skill acquisition. Each player will have a ball at their feet for the majority of the session to maximize their development and confidence. 

 

Our Friday sessions will comprise of non-competitive games in which we will play VRFC teams against one another to put our learnings into practice.

2) Top quality coaching from a certified team

To ensure our players are receiving quality training, our team of energetic and experienced coaches hold recognized coaching certifications. They are experienced in coaching children all over the world, including the UK, China, USA, Brazil, Argentina and Canada.

 

Your player will stay with the same coaching team through the season so they can bond with their coach and form authentic connections with their teammates.

3) Weekend game opportunities (U8-U10)

VRFC players U8-U10 (2018-2016 born) will have the chance to play against other Vancouver teams in the VYSA House League on Saturdays.

​

These games will take place across Vancouver with field location and times changing weekly. This is an optional addition and will incur an additional $150 charge upon registration to cover league and field fees.  

​

All communication and scheduling will be through the TeamSnap app. It is expected if you enrol in games that you can attend the large majority. Game coaching will be supported by parent volunteers.
