South Delta United Soccer Club’s primary focus is to provide a total, well-rounded and positive soccer experience for the player, coach, referee, and parent.

For players, the emphasis will be on the development of each and every player so that their experience with SDU will encourage them to continue their participation in soccer with renewed enthusiasm and a sense of accomplishment.

For coaches and referees, the club will emphasize continual training and mentoring to ensure that they embody the philosophy of the club at all times, while helping foster a sense of community.

The South Delta United Soccer Club is a place to learn and enjoy the game of soccer, at all levels of play.

Children playing mini-soccer (U5 to U9) will begin play in mid September and end in March.  These ages will generally hear from a coach by late August / early September.

Select Teams – Div 1 (Gold) and Div 2 (Silver) – rosters are announced by the end of April.  These teams are chosen based on year long player observations.

These teams begin League play on the first weekend after Labour Day, and end in March.  For Div 1 teams only at U13 - U18, the season may extend later into the spring if the team progresses into District, Coastal, and Provincial Cup tournaments.

House team (Division 3 and 4) usually begin a week after the Select teams, and end in late March.

For all levels, there is usually a three – four week break from early December until early January.

Spring Soccer, which is completely separate from the primary (fall) season, both in house programs and Cascadia Spring League, run early April to mid June.

All children over the age of 4 and under 18 are welcome.

Spring season is considered “secondary” season, and age groups are the same as the previous fall. ie, a child playing U8 for fall 2018, will play U8 in spring 2019.

Yes, the club will take late registrations after these dates. However, due to limited space, your child may be placed on a wait list if rosters are full. It is best to register early to ensure a spot.

The U is short for UNDER. Age groups are designated by year of birth; however, the soccer season does not parallel the calendar year. The soccer “year” runs from September through August.

For example, U7 means children that are under 7 years of age as of Dec. 31 in the year that the season starts. (6 year olds). For example, in the season beginning fall 2021, a U18 player would be born in 2004, while a U6 player would have a 2016 birth date.

It depends on the age and competitive level of the team. League games are scheduled on the weekends, with the boys playing Saturday, and girls on Sunday.

Up to U9, games are held locally at South Delta fields, neighboring clubs and usually last up to 50 minutes.

Older age groups play up to 90 minute games, and can travel throughout the Lower Mainland for away matches.

Select (Div 1 & Div 2) teams (U10 to U18) require a commitment to two practices a week, plus weekend games, and tournaments.

U10-U12 players on top tier (Div 1) teams are required to attend Monday night Academy training as well, which brings their commitment to 3 training sessions per week.

House (Div 3 & 4) teams train once per week, plus weekend games. The coach may choose to hold an optional second practice.

Mini / Micro teams practice once per week with games on Saturdays for the boys, Sunday for girls.

Children playing mini-soccer (U5 to U9) play on several fields in Ladner/Tsawwassen.

Boys & Girls playing rep soccer at U10 to U18 play on fields throughout the South District and can potentially travel throughout the Lower Mainland.

And yes, we do play in the rain! Cancellation of games will depend on field conditions, and sometimes at the discretion of the referee.

This depends on the age bracket and coaches schedule. Most teams will practice Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Monday night is reserved for the Academies. Most fields in Tsawwassen and Ladner will be used.

Our field times generally run from 5:00-9:00pm on weekdays, with youngest players training at the earlier times.

The younger groups all train together at the same time for the entire year. This enables the maximum amount of support the staff coaches can provide.

The practice schedule can be found online under the INFO tab.

All players will need properly fitted soccer boots and shin pads. No shin pads no game. All other items, including uniform shirts, shorts, socks and a soccer ball, are included as part of the registration fee.

Extras, such as track suits and other training gear, can be purchased on the club’s online store.
