SCHEDULE

We plan to run from Tuesday April 23 to Thursday August 8 (16 weeks). The 2024 schedule is now posted. Field changes may need to be made during the season, e.g., as turf field decisions are made. Team managers will be notified of any changes, and these will also be posted here.


FIELDS

We expect to start the season on grass fields and shift to turf fields through June and into July, as we have for some years.

  • Fields for season start: Claremont, Colville, Victor Brodeur, JDF Velodrome (turf)

  • Turf fields applied for: UVic, Finlayson, Braefoot, Vic High, Blue Heron, Royal Bay, Belmont, Goudy, Lellum. Only UVic and Finlayson are confirmed.


TEAMS

17 teams are confirmed.


TEAM FEES

Team fees are $2200 for the 2024 season. Teams are requested to pay:

  • At least $1000 by May 10

  • The balance by May 31

WINDUP

The season windup is planned for Juan de Fuca fields on August 10. There will be three short games of 7-aside and the annual general meeting.


REFEREES

We are confirming our roster of referees and aiming to add more female officials.


LEAGUE GOVERNANCE

Your executive has met several times during the off-season, and there are changes:

  • Al Moir has commitments with BC Soccer and Canada Soccer that are incompatible with being Referee Coordinator with a league no longer affiliated with BC Soccer.

  • James Chaney has agreed to assume the role of Referee Coordinator and has stepped down as Secretary.

  • Paul Affleck (Saanich United) has agreed to assume the role of Secretary until the annual general meeting (AGM) in August.

  • Gareth Crisp has stepped down as Treasurer due to work commitments. Dean Neville (Blues) has volunteered.

  • Continuing in their roles: Brent Meuller (President), Hu Wallis (Vice President), Mike Bradley (Past President) and Jim Campbell (Registrar).
