Soccer
With a fantastic base of soccer in the area, the NKEC soccer programs have flourished over the years with both girls and boys teams competing at the provincial level. A lot of the players have found familiarity with the coaches at NKEC through their indoor and summer programs.
Every year a big number of students get involved with school soccer. It is a fantastic way to start your athletic career or school year getting involved with one of the many teams.
NKEC is proud to have many current and former university and AAA players involved with the programs, helping students develop their skills on and off the field.
