Founded in 1966, Killarney Youth Soccer Association is a 100% volunteer-run organization providing soccer to boys and girls from ages 5 to 17.
Our goal is to make organized soccer accessible to everyone in our community and take pride in having the lowest registration fees across all Vancouver and area clubs. All teams are coached and managed by volunteers such as parents and other community adults.
While our fees may be low, we still provide all the things you expect from your soccer club including a strong focus on Long Term Player Development; professional development coaching; goalie clinics; club-funded access to tournaments; innovative coaching tools; and fun events, all at NO ADDITIONAL COST!
Assessments for U11 and older are generally held March through May as needed - while assessments are not mandatory please visit our Assessment Page for more details.
A player that cannot attend assessments will be reviewed by a development coach or age group coach to ensure they are on the correct team.
Active Start is a parent participation program where parents or guardians join their young athletes (both girls and boys) on the field for a shortened season.
The group trains every Saturday for fun activities designed to get kids playing and having fun while learning soccer skills. All sessions are led by professional coaches.
The Active Start season is on Saturdays only from September through November
Mini Teams practice one evening a week and play games once a week on Saturdays at different community fields.
Mini Teams practice once a week and play games once a week on Saturday mornings, typically finishing before 2 pm.
U7-U9 typically practice 1 hour, 1 night a week; U10 typically practice 1.5 hours 1 night a week.
Practice times will be set and published in mid August once field permits and coach availability are confirmed.
U7-U9 may practice in gyms during the winter, typically after Remembrance Day when the weather gets damp. * May be earlier this year pending alternate fields.
U7 teams play in-house meaning that teams will play other Killarney U7 teams. U8-U10 play against other local clubs in the Vancouver Youth Soccer League.
While U7 teams are co-ed, U8 and older teams teams are separated into both girls and boys teams.
Teams U12 and younger have a "mini wrap-up" at the end of the season where all players receive a keepsake medallion as well as food and beverages.
Register early to secure your spot and help us determine practice times early!
Teams in these age groups play games every weekend throughout the season in the BC Coastal Soccer League - Girls teams generally play on Sunday while Boys teams play on Saturday.
Teams U11 and older practice twice a week. Practice schedules are set just prior to the season and are selected by the volunteer team officials to best fit their schedules.
Practice for older teams will be on turf when available. Practice for U12 and younger may be on Grass or Gravel depending on field permit availability.
Older players, U13+, will often play games on turf while younger players will play on grass and, if grass fields are closed, on gravel fields.
Divisional players, U11 and up, should register by July 15th to help ensure placement on an active team.
Players will be supplied with shorts, socks, and a jersey. Divisional Teams will be provided an Adidas Club Jersey that must be returned at the end of the season. Players must provide their own soccer cleats and shin guards.
Each team has team officials including a coach and manager, and possibly assistant or co-coaches. All team officials are volunteers, have passed Criminal Records Checks and are usually parents or guardians of players on the team. The coach will run practices and games. The team manager will manage the Team Snap schedule, game confirmations, team communications, distribute schedules and assign duties such as snack and field lining to parents.

Registration runs through the end of August or early September when teams are full and registered with the league.
