Applications must be signed off by your Youth District President. The completed application can either be forwarded to BC Soccer by the Youth District or the individual who is applying for the scholarship application.

Applications must be received by the British Columbia Soccer Association Office by March 31st.

Scholarship Application Form

1. I will participate because I want to, not just because my parents or coaches want me to.
2. I will play by the rules, and in the spirit of the game.

3. I will control my temper – fighting and "mouthing off" can spoil the activity for everybody.

4. I will respect my opponents.

5. I will do my best to try to be a true team player.

6. I will remember that winning isn’t everything - that having fun, improving my skills, making friends and doing my best are also important.

7. I will acknowledge all good plays/performances – those of my team and of my opponents.

8. I will remember that coaches and officials are there to help me. I will accept their decisions and show them respect.

• Having fun, making friends, and doing your best are the most important parts of the game.
• Play for your own enjoyment, not just to please coaches and parents.
• Work equally hard for yourself and your team.  Your team's performance will benefit, and so will your own.
• Cooperate with your teammates and opponents, for without them you do not have a game.
• Play by the rules.
• Control your emotions.  Over-aggressive play and "mouthing off" are not acceptable.
• Remember that the coaches and referees are there to help you.  Cooperate with them.
• Be on time for practices and games, and notify your coach if you are unable to attend.
• Shin guards and soccer shoes (cleats) are mandatory. 
• Keep your socks pulled up, have your shoe laces double-knotted, and keep your jersey tucked in.  Do not wear jewelry or barrettes.  If you have earrings that cannot be removed, they must be covered with tape.
• Bring a water bottle to all games and practices.
• Have Fun!
