• Training/Practices - Our training field is located directly across from Memorial Stadium.  Sessions are held Wednesdays, 8-10PM.

• Uniforms/Equipment - Approximately 25 jerseys are owned by the club and assigned to players each season.  Additional players will be asked to contribute a $25 uniform fee which goes to purhase of additional jerseys.  All players supply their own black soccer shorts, SHIN GUARDS and boots.

• Female Players - The club currently fields a team in the CPSL men's division only.  Until sufficient interest is expressed in entering a co-rec league, we encourage our female students to contact the Revolution Soccer league, which includes a co-rec league with matches played at the Queens University Athletic complex on Tyvola Rd.

Attendance Policy

Consistent attendance is foundation for accomplishing individual and team goals.  Inconsistent attendance on the part of a single player retards team development, and the realization of the club's values and objectives. 

If a player is unable to attend practice for any reason, they are expected to contact the Coach before practice. 

Players arriving late will complete all missed conditioning activities before joining in the skills portion of the training session.
