Langley FC’s inaugural boy’s competitive-level ‘rep’ team tryouts will happen on June 16.
Having recently been granted approval by the Fraser Valley Youth Soccer Association to offer boys programs, Langley FC plans to have competitive-level teams from U11 and up playing in the fall league soccer season, starting this September.
These inaugural Langley FC boy’s tryouts are generating interest among players and full teams who are already on a competitive-level team at other clubs but want a change. They’re also generating a lot of interest to players who didn’t make a competitive-level team at other clubs but who really want to play at this higher level. They now have another opportunity to make a competitive-level team and receive the added benefits of playing in Langley FC’s competitive-level programs, including the higher level of soccer, additional training, and academy sessions with professional coaches.
Parents and players are expressing their eagerness to come out to the tryouts and check out Langley FC and the programs, meet the coaches and other players, and get some free “touches on the ball” before making a final commitment to a team and club, all at no risk or cost.
Yes, a tryout at no cost. Contrary to how most sports clubs charge a tryout fee, Langley FC will not be charging a fee to attend tryouts. This is a big hit with parents.
“Our existing club members and many other soccer parents in the community have been asking us to offer a boys’ program and we’ve listened to them and delivered on that – now boys have more options of where they can play soccer in Langley,” said Cindy Andal, Langley FC President.
“Like our female players, male players now have the ability to play soccer throughout their lifetime in one successful soccer club where they will receive an enjoyable and high quality soccer experience.”
Langley FC was granted entry into the Fraser Valley Youth Soccer Association on November 28, 2011 for boys’ league play in the soccer season that begins September 2012. This addition to the Langley FC soccer club builds upon the merging of the Langley men’s club (LUFCA) into the Langley FC club completing Langley FC’s strategic goal of offering “high quality, life-long soccer experiences” for all female and male players of all ages and abilities all in one successful club within the Langley community.
“This is another exciting evolution for Langley FC as our club continues to grow and succeed in many areas. Langley FC is truly living up to our motto of One game. One club. One goal.,” added Regan Mostat, VP, Soccer Operations for Langley FC.
The LFC complement of programs now includes: girls and boys youth recreational and competitive programs, women’s and men’s programs, EA BC Soccer Premier League programs, Spring Soccer programs, an Academy Training program, and a variety of small training camps and activities year-round such as spring break camps, summer camps, and others.
The boy’s competitive-level team tryouts will occur on Saturday, June 16, at the oval grass field at Walnut Grove Secondary (8899 Walnut Grove Drive) at these times: U11 at 9 a.m., U12 at 10:30 a.m., U13 at 12 p.m., U14 at 1:30 p.m., U15 at 3 p.m., U16 at 4:30 p.m., and U17/18 at 6 p.m. For more details and to pre-register, visit the website at www.langleyfc.com
