We have just been told on tuesday that this weekend is pictures. HOW ABOUT A LITTLE NOTICE! Our family is going to mount washington this weekend. This trip has been scheduled for a month. Now my 3 kids can't get a team picture. THAT SUCKS!
Hi Geoff ,
This late in the season , we had to schedule the photographer while he was available. He will be back over the next few weeks , maybe something can be worked out
We are going to do the pictures again next weekend as we have another home game. Hope the whole team will be able to make it!
Are the fields open? Under the status they are for yesterday but at the home page they are closed, what is the latest please?
fields are closed today , all games are cancelled
Can the U12 girls team get a key for the equipment room? We had no lights for our Friday practice and our girls need to use the washrooms. Thanks
Is the field status going to be update daily during the rainy season? Closed yesterday, what about today? Thanks,
Would have been nice to have notification of the tournament this past Sat? is this the couches responsibility or is it for the parents to find out themselves?
Lisa,
the tounament put on by Lower Island Soccer Assocation (LISA) for mini teams (U7 - U10), hosted by Sooke Soccer. There are lots of tournaments open to all teams usually at the end of the season, but there are some over Christmas break. Check out LISA's website or individual club website for more information.
Lots of us are driving from town to Sooke so would love to know if we are going ahead??
Field status has not been updated since last week. With the rain and a tournament being hosted, there will be many people checking.
Sooke Mens Over 40's Team is still alive with 21 players registered this year. We're gettin old, but were still alive.
Please let me know who to contact for late registration. I have the forms and live in Port Renfrew and would like to register my two children again this year.
Victory for the Sooke Girls U12 Smashers! 8-2. What a way to start the season girls!!! GO SOOKE TEAMS GO!!!
Goal Keep Clinic - Great Idea, however, I don't understand why you would book it for a Saturday. All youths have games on Saturdays. Not good planning most teams need their goalies for the games.
Hi Lynnie
This clinic is actually meant for coaches from the entire district rather than goalkeepers. Because it didn't fill up we invited players to participate. It is scheduled for the weekend because a one day course during the week would be next to impossible to fill.
As we have missed all registration times at Fred Milne, can I still register my daughter using the online form? If so, how?
Hey Youth teams, Check this out....

Over 30s women are looking for players! Next practice Thursday, Sept 8 @ 6:30...
Are you still taking players for over 30 team? If so when is next practice?
oops got the forms .....but...with the Sept 10th registration date are we registering late for our teams....when are we actually starting?
I suppose you know but...I can't download the registration forms...will this be fixed shortly? Can't make it to this Saturday's registration and Sept 10th seems late already. Doesn't our season usually start now? Thanks
I would like to volunteer for the registration desk for Sat Aug 27th. Do you still need people?
im 47 is that to old call me 250 888 5436
Do we know if 12 directors expected at tonights AGM? Will there be notice if the AGM is postponed?
How did the AGM go? Any new faces?
No registration dates have been set yet, they will be posted on the website and in the local newspaper very shortly
Who is the Sook rep on the Tier2 committee? How did Sooke vote at the Presidents meetings? hopefully to open up the transfers rule....
You have the nerves to watch that game?
So, higher fees for the second year in a row. What's up with the huge increase, especially for those that typically register early?
And now no volunteer cheques? We have people that make a choice to have their cheques cashed instead of supporting their kids soccer club, now they don't have to do both with no consequence.... Didn't the club make 3000$ from these cashed cheques. That's 1/3 of our $8000 dollar turf fund. Shouldn't the $3000 absolved the need to increase fees?
I don't agree…

Even after the increase our fees are the second lowest ( after Cowichan ) in the Lower Island District. The fees we charge are averaging $50 lower than any other club in the district.
The fee increase reflects the cost of daily soccer operation: balls , nets , referees, new equipment , jerseys field upkeep ecc.
The volunteer deposit was initially set up to 'force' people to volunteer and was never intended to generate revenue. To charge someone for not volunteering is a contradiction t…

Robin is partially correct. Yes CVSA is the lowest across the board but comparing the other 9 clubs only Lakehill has not touched their fees in the last 4 years in part because they had a hefty increase back then as they started to plan for their Turf field. GHSA raised their fees last year to match CBs. Every other club appears to have raised their fees (except Lakehill who have the lowest fees at the young age for early rate but among the highest at full field for late registration). The volun… Read More
Did anyone notice the posting by District of Sooke in the Sooke News requesting any groups looking for project funding to promote sports etc., to make a proposal to the Community Grant Review committee. I wonder if this might help our efforts to get a turf???
Wow great! PLEASE ensure Sooke SC has a nice polished proposal ready to drop on the councils tabled! Our fields are dreadful and almost as bad as Gorges ;)
Club meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of every month.
Yesterday was the first Tuesday of March.

I found a set of white Nike goalie gloves with black swoosh at the Sooke River Store on one of the picnic tables this afternoon. Email me if they are yours.
