Uniform: Registration includes a BIFC T-shirt for new players.
Under-5s: At least one parent and/or guardian must stay with their child for the session.
Covid Safety: Please read and review our safety protocols.
Refund Policy: There are no refunds unless programming is forced to be cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions before the end of the assigned end date. If this occurs Bowen Island FC will issue a pro-rated refund less a $25.00 administration fee.
Financial Assistance: BIFC recognizes there are families in the community for whom registration fees pose a genuine financial hardship. We are an inclusive club and believe everyone should have the ability to play. If you are in need of a bursary, send an email to the Club Coordinator, all requests will be kept strictly confidential.
What To Bring: Cleats, shin guards and a water bottle. Cleats can be purchased at Macey's (North Van), Sport Chek, Canadian Tire, or the Knick Knack Nook sometimes has used cleats. We encourage players to wear shin pads under their soccer socks or track pants.
Rain or Shine: Soccer in BC means getting used to playing in wet (and sometimes cold) conditions. Please dress your child in appropriate clothing for outdoor activity. Weather can cause havoc at this age level so its very important to keep your child as warm and dry as possible. BIFC or soccer-specific clothing is encouraged for colder weather.
Moving Up: Should some players excel at their age level, then consideration will be given to moving them up an age level to encourage their development. Some players who are at the U7 may be considered ready to join our youth teams and there have been examples of Mini House aged players playing up wth our youth teams. This would occur only if the Club TD, parents(s) and respective coaches feel it would be in the best interest of the player and his/her overall development.
