Kincardine Minor Soccer has grown over recent years and its registrations have doubled. The Club Executive met to respond to the evolving landscape of minor soccer in Kincardine. Going forward we will begin the development of a non-travel small-sided format for our U12-U18 recreational play age groups. U12-U18 recreational travel teams will be a single team for Girls and Mixed for the Lake Shore League age groups of U12, U15, U18 where the players will be assessed and the team will be made by the coach.
The following is the overall approach for the Summer Season.
No Travel

Extended Travel
(mainly outside Bruce-Grey area) |
