What is House Leagues?
Vancouver Athletic FC House leagues are for players ages 4 to 9, or what we call “U8” (under eight) to “U10”. In House league, you’ll be given the option to choose a group to play with: Douglas Park Soccer Club, Grandview or Vancouver Girls Soccer Club (Trout Lake). The main difference between the three is the home base location where the group plays. Why all the different names? When VAFC was formed in 2013, it merged these smaller local Vancouver clubs and was asked to recognize the originating club names. The names of those leagues are still used as house league names today. Once you’ve registered your player, you’ll hear from the coaches when the teams are formed, typically 2-4 weeks before the season starts in mid-September.
