The Innisfil Soccer Club has been collaborating with several soccer clubs around the country,
to  help ensure that we are prepared  for a safe, organized phased  return to soccer.

We at the Innisfil soccer club have been planning for several scenarios based on delayed starts, including early, mid July or August start dates. These plans are aimed at ensuring that recreational and competitive programs canl be completed, using various models, Including extending the season and festival style tournaments to guarantee maximum games.

We are also planning programs that are small group skill development programs open to all leveals of player, that include a max 5 players per development coach, this  will help accelerate all participant's development.
The latest information on Phase 1 soccer will be  training only with no contact. 

Our  (NEW) Small group development programs, will be run by the Technical Director and the Club Head Coach, here are a list of programs that will be open to all players from  Beginners, Intermediate and High-performance soccer players:

At this point we are preparing for the start date and would appreciate your  support in keeping the program alive. We are a not-for-profit community soccer club, as such we depend on registration fees to operate seasonal programs. we are very optimistic about the 2020 summer soccer program.
