Soccer Pointe-Claire (SPC) is Busy Preparing for the Upcoming Season

By Jonathan Markiewicz

It is with great excitement that Soccer Pointe-Claire (SPC) is busy preparing for the upcoming season. SPC is an amateur soccer association that is committed to providing high-quality soccer to all players, coaches, and referees in order to consistently excel at all levels. We offer programming for players aged four to 74, a local festival for our members, and a spring tournament for U11-U12 teams from Ontario and Quebec.

With 2,445 players, 325 coaches, and 55 referees, we represent Pointe-Claire across Quebec and were even Eastern Canadian Regional Champions in the men’s Over-35 category in 2023.  Our player membership has grown by 21.5% since 2019, making SPC the second largest association in Montreal’s West Island. This growth has been generated by our operational focus on great administration and player development all the while supporting our club ethos: #RespectForAll.  This focus afforded us the honour in 2022 of being the club with the highest member retention in all of Quebec.  

Registration for the summer season opened on Feb. 1st, 2024, and spots are filling fast.  Our women’s Over-25 House League, aka Champagne, sold out in 1.5 days and the men’s Over-35 House League, aka LOGS, in 1 week. Waiting lists for both categories are open for additional players.  But it is not just adults dreaming of summer activities, our Micro programs (Under-4 to Under-8) often sell out, as does our Club Development Centre (CDC) for kids aged Under-9 to Under-12.  To learn more about how to register, please visit [use this link]: https://soccerpointeclaire.com/summer/ .

A club our size is heavily reliant on volunteers, especially a club with a desire to provide reasonably priced activities and quality programming. Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community while being active and engaged in the health and well-being of our youth.  Volunteer opportunities include on-field educators, and are especially needed within our Micro and Youth recreational programs, or off-field team managers for teams of all ages. During our club events, tournaments, and festivals, we also need additional support in planning and running these amazing events.  If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the club at: info@soccerpointeclaire.com

With some of our summer teams starting in the Ligue de Développement Provinciale (LDP) in mid-April, we at SPC are very excited for this new season to begin. Whether you are an existing member, a new member, or a Pointe-Claire citizen, we invite you to stop by the Terra-Cotta soccer complex this summer and enjoy the sport we love in the best city-run facility in Montreal.
