My first time volunteer coaching with Guelph Soccer was such a wonderful experience. The staff were welcoming, available and made the experience that much more enjoyable. Coaching resources were readily available to us, and our team really thrived in the 3 v 3 model. Couldn't speak more highly about Guelph Soccer and it's team of staff!

My two girls have been doing soccer @ Guelph Soccer for over 5 years now. The girls have always been supported and encouraged to play and to lead their gender in sports. The programs have always been of excellent value. As a coach, i always felt appreciated and trained to do the task at hand despite limited soccer experience. I encourage everyone to join their soccer program if you want a good time and great community.

They setup a mens league, ask for a ridiculous price. And then the refs/linesmen dont show up to one game so were forced to just scrim the other team since were all there and the game doesnt even count because no refs/linesmen show up. Service is horrible they dont pick up the phone, and probably have a rock running the email system because no one responds.

Please read the following;
"The Respect in Sport Module is required of all grassroots & competitive coaches as well as recreational league coaches for groups Under-10 and up. Parents may optionally complete the module as well. The module takes 1-2 hours and can be done online. It helps to educate activity leaders (i.e. coaches) to create safe & welcoming environments, mitigate risks, and become great role models for our children. In many occasions, the coach of a soccer team is the most trusted adult in a child's life - so it is imperative that this individual treats the child with the utmost

Dont pay unless your 100% playing or trying out I signed up for my daughter to play and then it was 10$ and I did not want to go as asked for a refund before the tryouts and they said okay 2 weeks no emails back after 3 weeks and then I contacted them and they talked to me and said no you cant get a refund if the payment has been paid! These people are scammers! They will not give your money back this is the worst club ever!!!
