16-OCT Fall Soccer Update Due to the inclement weather that will continue through the morning we are cancelling today's soccer program. We plan on having a make up day on the 30th Oct and will add that to the program

Rain? No problem!

Great day to kickoff fall soccer!

As a reminder, we are planning to start the trial season this Saturday. Please check the club website home page for details and specific times for each player birth year. https://www.kincardinesoccer.com. We plan to have a tent set up at the adult fields (closest to 21) on Bruce Ave. Please plan to have players arrive at least 15 minutes before their scheduled start time to check-in. Additionally there will be an online check-in option which is accessible from the websi...te or QR codes that will be available at the fields to scan and go right to the form. Please do not attend if you exhibit symptoms related to Covid as outlined by public health and maintain social distancing unless playing in a game. Lastly, this is for the kids to have fun. We are trying out this fall season concept. There will be a few volunteers helping keep things going, extras hands to help during the hour sessions are always welcome!
