A TECHNICAL SOLUTION OF CHOICE
In the last decade, amateur soccer in Canada has flourished, enjoying a period of unparalleled growth. In 2007, precisely 867,869 players registered to play soccer in Canada, and of those players, 123,489 are registered in British Columbia. Soccer’s registration numbers now exceed those of the “traditional” North American team sports of baseball, hockey and basketball - soccer has truly become the team sport of choice for Canada’s young athletes.

Many of Vancouver Island’s young soccer players dream of progressing their soccer careers beyond their communities to the Provincial, National, US and Canadian Collegiate and Professional ranks. The pursuit of lofty goals requires access to opportunity and support for the aspiring athlete. Until the summer of 2004, such requisite access, opportunity and support has been reserved for the very few (10 – 20) players who are selected annually to compete on Provincial representative teams. Many others, with equal drive and potential, have been excluded from opportunity simply for lack of exposure to high level competition and coaching in an environment that fosters learning, dedication, and skill development. FC Victoria is an Island-wide, all inclusive and comprehensive development model which exists for the youth players of Vancouver Island.

FC Victoria is a Victoria-based, privately owned and operated soccer club dedicated to the development and advancement of Vancouver Island’s youth soccer players. FC Victoria is positioned to assist in access to the opportunities available to youth soccer players for US and Canadian university scholarships and professional opportunities abroad.

FC Victoria will be actively developing additional programs to recruit potential FC Victoria players and support those currently within the existing teams. Such programs may include: Winter Training Academies, Individualized Training Plans, Clinics with Guest Coaches, Summer Camps, and International Travel Opportunities.
