Soccer in BC

Within the confines of Canada, Soccer in British Columbia and especially the Lower Mainland and South-Central Vancouver Island has a unique soccer season. This is due to the unique weather that has been decscribed as the "West Coast Temperate Rain Forest".
In this habitat, Soccer in British Columbia is an all-year-round sport.
The major competitive season is the winter months. This is from September to March.
The main play-off time is February to July for basically all age groups from youth to senior soccer.
This offers great opportunities and challenges to players and coaches alike as the season is just finishing or winding down while others across Canada are ready to peak.
For the more advanced and competitive coaches go to a YPI model and try and create a periodization table. Try and insert your macro/micro phases and you will see the challenges that face the teams that have to go to national championships that can usually occur between August to October.
Wow how do you peak in the traditional Off-season?

Soccer in British Columbia also has a rich summer tradition. Most of these warm summer days are spent in a variety of Multi-cultural and ethnically inspired leagues.

There is also a ever growing summer camps with each "soccer Star" and "super coach" hoping to capture a unique market by offering their special brand of training.
