BOWEN ISLAND FC   YOUTH TEAMS

[Fall 2024]

Bowen Island FC teams play under the North Shore Youth Soccer Association and compete in either the North Shore Intra District (U8 to U12) or BC Coastal Soccer League (U13). Once we know who is registered we then decide what teams to enter in league play. The “boys" division plays games on Saturdays while the “girls" division plays on Sundays. If BIFC does not have sufficient numbers to submit a full roster (10 - 12 players) to play in the league, then we will either combine genders and register the team under the "boys" division OR we may move players up or down (we cannot play with over age players at U13 and older). For more information please contact Club TD.

Please dress your child in appropriate clothing for outdoor activity and it is very important to keep your child as warm and dry as possible. Please use BIFC clothing (or red soccer or sports clothing) whenever possible.
