As the most popular sport in the world, it only makes sense that people of all ages should be able to play soccer.
For more than three decades the North Shore Girls Soccer Club has provided a myriad of soccer programs, ranging from their U4 mini league to adult divisions. Now, the NSGSC has unveiled a new 60+ Walking Soccer Program, an opportunity for seniors who love the sport to get out and play.
Jana Madill, executive director of North Shore Girls Soccer, said the club is always looking to fill gaps in their programming, seniors being one of them.
“We have the privilege of seeing so many grandparents on the sidelines of the fields cheering on mostly their granddaughters, their grandchildren in our youth programs,” said Madill. “We started to look around at what other kinds of programs were available for seniors through North Vancouver rec, but also other kinds of programs that were available in the soccer community.”
