  • Long hair tied back

  • No jewellery (necklaces, earrings etc.)

  • Bring a water bottle

  • Dress in layers (long sleeves and pants permitted underneath jerseys and shorts only)

Mandated Canada Soccer Grassroots Standards

The Whistler Youth Soccer ClubSoccer collaborates with BC Soccer to ensure our grassroots programs reflect national standards, promoting consistency and quality across the province.

Key elements of the Grassroots Standards:

Inclusivity: Programs are designed to accommodate players of all skill levels, ensuring everyone has equal opportunities to participate and succeed.

Fun and Enjoyment: Focusing on creating enjoyable experiences fosters a lifelong love for the game.

Player-Centred Development: Activities and match formats are tailored to the developmental needs of players at each age and stage.

Skill Acquisition Over Competition: Emphasis is placed on technical and tactical growth rather than win-loss records.

WYSC follows the GRASSROOTS STANDARDS in the delivery of our programs.
