With more information than ever before, we know you’ll find the
answers to most of your questions on our website.
It's Stage 3 time!

Under the current Ontario Soccer Return to play guide we are able to now get back to a full league schedule and practices. Players and coaching staff do not need to wear masks on the field BUT spectators ARE required to wear masks when watching games or practices - even if they can socially distance. Please help our Coaches and Team Managers by supporting this requirement. In Stage 3 we still need to maintain a contact tracing record of attendees, again please help your Coaches and Team managers by confirming who else will be attending a game or practice with your child.

All Team Staff have been informed of these requirements and they will be sharing this notice with parents in the next few days. This is a province wide requirement so visiting teams 'should' also be aware of this. We will continue to do the right thing as it's a good example to set for our players.

  • The fields are lined, the nets are up and the grass is cut. Thanks to Facility Manager Joe Roccasalva, Andre and Victoria for working tirelessly in this heat and in between storms to get our Recreational, Competitive and High Performance fields ready for action. 
  • Our balls are pumped, uniforms prepped and schedules shared. Thank You Dave Lord and his volunteer crew for meeting the challenge in a very short space of time to make sure every Recreational player gets on the field next week.

  • Our teams are ready, paperwork complete and objectives set. Thanks to Dave Benning, Hollie Babut and Nina Cancellara for meeting the challenge of getting our players through another long lay-off, then into training and now full competition. We can't wait to see more smiling faces on the pitch.

  • Our communication is on point, marketing is engaging, and social network expanding! Thanks to Brendan Ford for sharing stories of our great Club and the wonderful members we have. It's going to be a fantastic Summer with plenty more action shots from right across the City.

If you want to play your part we still have positions open for volunteers and qualified coaches in many of our programs. From All Abilities (see below) to Recreational and Competitive there are many great ways you can join the family.

Join our Team

We have just started our outdoor season and are now preparing for our indoor season. Our indoor All Abilities Programs will be starting mid September and we are looking for volunteers to assist us on Monday evenings 6:00 - 7:00 pm, and Saturday mornings 9:00 - 11:00 am.

Our program’s success comes mainly from our dedicated and motivated young volunteer leaders who serve as volunteer mentors and coaches to our athletes. As a volunteer with our PFC All Abilities Program,  you will receive specialized training and the opportunity to make a difference in our community. Join our team to help us continue to bring much needed sports programs to the many children and youth in our community, who may never get a chance to play and have fun in a sports environment.

Our NEW Volunteer training will be taking place on Thursday August 26, 6:00 - 9:00 pm at the Pickering Soccer Centre. Bring a friend! Because what’s more fun than sharing a fantastic experience with your Best Friend?
