Fall Season_Sept to March

Killarney Youth Soccer Association 2023/2024 Fall Registration is CURRENTLY OPEN

The season runs from September 2023 through March 2024 - We strongly encourage everyone to register early.  

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!

• Minis (U7 through U10) registration closes in mid to late August to ensure teams/groups are formed in time for the September start
• Divisional (U11 and older) players are encouraged to register as soon as possible to ensure a spot on a team (and ensure a team!)
  • Divisional teams are generally formed in June - some teams may still have spots available later in the summer but we recommend registering EARLY.

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 - U5 and U6

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 9th through November 18th

MINIS - U7 to U10

U7 teams play in-house meaning that teams will play other Killarney U7 teams. U8 and up play against other local clubs. U7-U9 may practice in gyms during the winter, typically after Remembrance Day when the weather gets damp. 

While U7 teams are co-ed, U8 and older teams teams are separated into both girls and boys teams. Mini Teams practice once a week and play games once a week on Saturdays, finishing before 1 pm. 

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.

Fall 2023/24 FINAL SCHEDULE

Divisional Teams - U11 through U18

Teams at these age groups play games every weekend through 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 also be on turf when available. Practice for U12 and younger will be on Killarney Oval or Killarney Gravel.

Divisional players, U11 and up, should register by July 15th to help ensure placement on an active team.  

Older players, U13+, will often play on turf while younger players will play on grass and, if grass fields are closed, on gravel fields. 

All Age Groups

Players will be supplied with shorts, socks, and a jersey. Jerseys must be returned at the end of the season and can keep the shorts and socks. 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 RAMP team website, distribute schedules and assign duties such as snack and field lining to parents.
