Club Info
We are proudly a community service club program,
begun by the Nor'West Optimist Club & serving local youth since 1979, we remain a:
"Not-for-profit, volunteer-run, community-benefiting, youth soccer club"
That's a mouthful: what does it mean?
It means we bring F.A.I.R. soccer to local children! We have been doing it since 1979 (only then, it was from Bruce Johnson's garage). It means we take the money we earn from registration and redistribute it to cover the costs a player incurs for a soccer season.
Broadly, this covers:
Soccer uniforms (jersey, soccer shorts, soccer socks),
Equipment purchasing & maintenance,
Field rental (or maintenance),
Referee development & fees,
Club admin fees,
Player & coach insurance,
Local league or district registration fees
National program contribution of $9pp as required by Canada Soccer
Most of our volunteers are community parents of players who squeeze time in between work, family obligations, and carpooling. With our roots in Optimism, we work hard to set a good example for the kids with these other projects that positively impact their community:
Spring Shoe Scramble - Cleat Swap,
Outdoor season Special Olympic team sponsorship,
Koats for Kids drive on Fun Day for the Boys & Girls Club,
Fall Jerseys recycled to lower-income programs in Northern Canada & abroad,
Winter Active Toy Drive,
Soccer is an excellent gift for kids! It provides fitness, friendship, physical literacy, and a sense of community that stretches worldwide! It does all that and helps kids make better choices when faced with the tough decisions that youth are sometimes faced with.
We are proud to offer this to our community and proud of the NW volunteers who help us bring this gift to community players! They are the reason we can offer such an excellent experience for kids.
Please be sure to thank the volunteers you see in your soccer community this season!
