Dear Member, Stakeholder, Supporter,

There is a lot of great soccer action happening this month at every level of the game and Pickering FC is right at the heart of it!


From our Tim Bit's players at Woodlands each week, through to former PFC player Deandre Kerr now starring weekly for Toronto FC, and right up to our national teams with the men in action at the Gold Cup this Sunday against the USA and our women kicking off their World Cup on July 20th against Nigeria.

There are plenty of great stories around this game and around YOUR Club! We would love to hear from you about the part soccer players in your life. Reach out to Zachary (marketing@pickeringfc.ca) with your story.


For this week we want to share with you a brief video about one of our talented blind soccer players. Keaton is the youngest in our program and growing fast, both physically and technically. He is an talented pianist and award winning braille reader, however many of his team mates aren't aware of the latest accolade to come his way.


For Keaton, as with many players, getting on the soccer field is about fun, friendship and some healthy competition. We hope you enjoy the video about this wonderful and very modest young man.

Summer Camp 2023 got off to a fantastic start as our camp counsellors kept the players happy and engaged during the incredible heat of this first week. Space is still available for Weeks 2-6 so please check out the link below. Extended care (8am-9am and 4pm-5pm) are also available.

PFC Welcomes Cuauhtemoc Flores as the new

All Abilities Program Coordinator


The Pickering Football Club is pleased to announce that Cuauhtemoc Flores, a.k.a. Coach T, has been promoted to Coordinator, PFC All Abilities Program.  Pickering Football Club's All Abilities soccer programs offer children and youth with intellectual and/or physical disabilities an opportunity to participate in specially designed recreational opportunities.


Coach T has been a staple of our program since 2016 when he first joined us as a volunteer and has grown to become a familiar presence around the field. Outside of his All Abilities role, Coach T has built a strong reputation in sales for Adidas as well as being qualified in massage therapy. In addition to Coach T’s professional background, he is a regular member of Canada Soccer’s National Para Soccer team competing and representing Canada at every opportunity.


“Coach T’s commitment to our program over the last seven years has been unwavering. He has not only built strong relationships with our athletes and staff, but he has also fostered strong relationships with our program families, caregivers, and volunteers. I am excited to see future growth with our All Abilities Program” says Tammy Lyle-Gravlev, the outgoing All Abilities Coordinator. 


“All Abilities has been a part of my life for the past seven years and I have grown so much passion and love for this program since starting off as a volunteer back in 2016. Living with a disability myself, being a member of the Canadian Para Soccer Team, and having an educational background in health studies leads me to believe that we can continue to create amazing memories both on and off the field” says Coach T.


Coach T will transition over the summer under the mentorship of Tammy, and will assume his new role at the beginning of September. Please join the Club in welcoming Coach T as our newest member of staff. 

We would like to thank Jumpstart and 407ETR for their continued support of our All Abilities Program.
