With more information than ever before, we know you’ll find the
answers to most of your questions on our website.
Dear Member, Stakeholder, Supporter,

We've got a big month ahead of us!


PFC Open House and Try Us Out events are happening throughout September with many sessions happening during the September 17-18 and 24-25 weekends. This is the opportunity for many players to come and experience our programs for the first time and decide whether we are the Club for them.


For those of us already playing and coaching at PFC we know it's the right choice and we are #PFCProud to be part of this great #DestinationClub.


This week we held an information session for our coaches, the PFC front line workers, in order to share with them what this indoor season will look like while we await our new dome.


Club Board members Ed Whitehead (President), John Antonopoulos (Vice President), and Corrado Roccasalva (Immediate Past President) spoke in detail about the success of the Club in recent years, the current situation, and then provided an overview of the upcoming indoor season. This included:


  • 2 x indoor sessions per week,
  • Local practice locations primarily across Pickering and Ajax,
  • Indoor league games based on team preference.


All coaches will be provided with a video outlining the key components of the presentation for this to be shared with families. A 'Frequently Asked Questions' page will also be included on the PFC website to clarify anything missed in the presentations.


The short term pain of not being on our own turf will be worth it when we get to experience a brand new dome and playing field with the addition of our hard court space for futsal and many other sports. Keep in mind that most teams will be on turf for their game each week. And ... don't forget the impact of hard court ball work on the skill development of legendary players such as Messi and Ronaldo!


For anyone attending the Open House or Try Us Out weekends we will have staff available to answer any questions you may have.


PFC has been here for you throughout the pandemic and throughout this trying year. We don't shut up shop just because times get hard, so stick with us and let's enjoy this next step in our exciting journey together.

On October 2, we are planning a fundraiser for our Pickering Football Clubs All Abilities Program. Elliot’s Walk for All Abilities is led by one of our active adult participants who has Autism. Elliot planned our walk last year as a task for completing his community merit badge. We had so much fun, this is now a yearly event.

  • Start: 8:30 am, Montgomery Park Parking lot (Foot of Montgomery Park Road)
  • Distance: 1) 17 km return (see map attached) or 2) Relay - don't want to walk the full distance, walk just a portion of the route with us!!! You choose the distance, and we will work out the logistics!!
