Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC Secure Y League Franchise

The Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club is proud to announce that we have been successful in securing eight teams in the Super Y-League for the 2009 season.

The Super Y-League operates under the auspices of the United Soccer Leagues, better known as the USL. The Super Y-League is a Member of the United States Soccer Federation. Under a new partnership model between the BC Soccer Association and the Vancouver Whitecaps, the Northwest Division of the Super Y-League will be made up of BC based teams. A rebranding of the program includes five Whitecaps/BCSA “partner” organizations to be part of the Super Y-League in the spring and summer of 2009, along with Abbotsford and Victoria. The seven organizations are:
  • Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club
  • Surrey WFC
  • Coastal WFC
  • Mountain WFC
  • Abbotsford Soccer Association
  • Victoria Capitals
  • Okanagan WFC

Our club will independently operate and manage eight youth teams (U13-U16 boys and girls). The program is user funded and will include paid coaching positions. We will be advertising for head coaching positions within our club first and then externally, if required. Head coaches must meet BCSA’s coaching requirements.

This program will complement our newly acquired Tri-Cities Xtreme organization, that will compete in the Pacific Coast Soccer League, to provide competitive, development opportunities for our youth and adult teams in the off season.

We are currently working on our website to provide further information, statistics and schedules.

Please contact any of our club directors or staff for more information.
