Current and Upcoming Programs

We would like to thank Tim Hortons for sponsoring this program again in 2022. This program is a non-competitive league focusing on skill development and having fun. Each of the 8 sessions consists of skills, drills and a game. 

Registration for this program occurs at the end of March and closes in April. Please check back for the registration link. 

This program relies on the wonderful community of coaches that step forward for our young soccer stars. If you are interested in coaching a team this 2023 season, please reach out to recreation@gravenhurst.ca or when registering for the program. 

-Participants must be the age listed by the first date of the program (This year was May 24th, 2022). 
-Team requests can not be accommodated. Siblings will be placed on same team only if they are in the same age group and unless otherwise requested.
-This program takes place on the Special Events Field at 1111 Bay St, Gravenhurst, ON P1P 1G7.
-Please note that if a game is cancelled due to inclement weather or field condition, an email will be sent by 2pm to the email used to register for the program as well as notice posted on the Town of Gravenhurst social media accounts. 

-We will make every effort reasonable to reschedule sessions, though this means they may be booked on a different night of the week.
