Fort St. John Soccer Club to host Indoor Annual Year-End Tournament

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Fort St. John Soccer Club (FSJSC) is gearing up to host its 2023-2024 Indoor Annual Year-End Tournament from February 23rd to 25th. 

According to a release from the soccer club, the purpose of the tournament is to wrap up the indoor season and “keep youth engaged, focused, and excited for the upcoming outdoor season.”

The club anticipates the outdoor season to begin on April 29th, pending field conditions and snow. 

Approximately 250 youth are expected to compete in the year-end tournament, with family, friends and community members in attendance as spectators.

All registered FSJSC players between the ages of eight and 15 are scheduled to compete in tournament or festival-style play “based on age and stage.”

According to Alberta Soccer, festival play includes groups of players rotating between stations, focused on experiencing various activities and coaching styles, as well as forming new relationships on the field. 

Each player will also be entered for a chance to win a draw basket by participating in the tournament. There will also be a silent auction to fundraise for the club.

The club is seeking donors and sponsors for the player’s draws and silent auction or to provide monetary donations for use towards tournament costs.
