Congratulations to Our Community Coach of the Year!
Congratulations to Mike Fleet, named the Soccer Nova Scotia 2025 Community Coach of the Year!
Two teams. Two finals. Countless moments that mattered most. Coach Fleet’s season was built on fairness, inclusion, and belief in every player - the kind of leadership that inspires a lifelong love for the game.
We’re proud to have him as part of the UDFC community!

Quiet Soccer
Registration is now open for our award-winning Quiet Soccer Program, Fridays at Crichton Park Elementary School Gym (6:00-6:45 PM). This program is designed for children aged U5-U12 who prefer a calmer, low-sensory soccer environment with smaller groups and extra support. Cost is $75. Join us for a fun, inclusive soccer experience where every player can feel comfortable and confident!
Reminder: ECV Field Use & Safety Guidelines
As our indoor season gets underway, we’d like to remind everyone that only players scheduled to be on the field are permitted inside the turf area at East Coast Varsity (ECV) during practices. For safety reasons, siblings and parents are not allowed on the field unless they are part of the session. Additionally, if your team’s session is next, please wait until the current session has finished before stepping onto the field. This helps us keep transitions smooth and ensures a safe, organized environment for all players and coaches. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and respectful training space.
