Your gateway to youth soccer
The Squamish United FC Fall House League is a fun, inclusive, and community-focused soccer program for players U5 to U14. Led by volunteer coaches and supported by Squamish United FC staff coaches, the program emphasizes skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship, and a love of the game in a positive learning environment.
Players participate in one weekly practice and local Saturday games throughout the season, providing opportunities to develop their skills, build confidence, stay active, and enjoy soccer with friends. All games are played in Squamish, making the program convenient and accessible for families.

How House League works
Age-Appropriate Formats
Games are scaled to each age and stage — from small-sided 3v3 up to 8v8 (see the Age Groups & Formats table below).
Modified Rules
A positive learning environment that encourages skill and participation:
- No throw-ins or corner kicks at any age
- No goalkeepers until age 7
Balanced Teams, No Tryouts
Teams are balanced and diverse — no tryouts — so every player grows at their own pace.
Flexible Age Placement
Players can move up or down an age group for the right level of challenge, with similar-ability players training together.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can my child start playing soccer?
Players start at U5/U6. Your child must be turning 4 before December 31st for the Fall/Winter season, or turning 4 before June 30th for the Spring League. (An exception can be made if a parent wants to coach a team.) At this age, teams have 8 players who play 3v3, with no goalie.
What does my child need to play on a house team?
House players need cleats, shin guards, and black shorts. One pair of soccer socks is provided, and each player receives a team jersey to borrow for the season. A uniform deposit is collected by the coach when jerseys are handed out, and returned to you when the jersey is returned at the end of the season.
