Squamish, B.C. - Young soccer stars in the Sea to Sky region will have the unique opportunity this spring to receive high-level training and competition throughout the corridor.

Adam Day, the men’s head coach at Quest University and Technical Director for the Squamish Youth Soccer Association is starting up the program, with the assistance of his UEFA licensed colleague Chris Cerroni from England.

Explained Day, “The inaugural season will only be for male players aged 16 to 18 and try-outs will be in the first week of March in preparation for the thrice-weekly sessions at Quest until the end of May.  The program will hopefully extend to girls next year, and then trickle down the age groups should the Academy succeed as expected.”

Team manager, Peter Shrimpton, co-founder of the program, who is also Whistler Youth Soccer Club President, added: “It’s going to be a truly remarkable chance for the better football players in the corridor to get really good professional training, with some great competitive games.”
