Program Highlights and Improvements

• Season starts the week of June 4 and continues for the next 12 weeks, finishing with a tournament in mid- or late-August.
• Individual and team photographs included in the registration fee!
• One of the benefits to your membership in the Kingston Clippers Soccer Club House League is the Extra Kicks Program. Moving to Friday nights at Jim Beattie Park from 6:00 to 7:00 (younger players to YOB 2008) and 7:00 to 8:00 (older players to YOB 2006), Extra Kicks provides supervised training sessions with our professional coaches followed by a 30 minutes scrimmage. All House League coaches up to YOB 2006 and their teams are welcome to attend and run their own practices, independent of the sessions provided by the Club Staff. The Extra Kicks Program provides registrants with two days of soccer for the price of one!
• For the 2018 season, the Little Clippers Program will operate out of the West End Boys and Girls Club on Bath Road in their new indoor soccer specific space. NO RAIN OUTS! SMALLER GROUPS! MORE ONE ON ONE INTERACTION WITH OUR TRAINED PROFESSIONAL STAFF. For the convenience of our membership, families will have the option of Tuesday or Thursday nights at one of three start times: 5:30, 6:00 or 6:30. As an added bonus, the Boys and Girls Club will provide supervised play in their state of the art Jungle Gym facility following your soccer session. Over the season, we will also be offering two supervised swims at the Boys and Girls Club pool. This year, as well, in response to our 2017 parent exit surveys, we are providing registrants Kingston Clippers T-Shirts, not full uniforms. Hopefully, this will assist families as they prepare their Little Clippers for soccer.

The Kingston Clippers announce open tryouts for girls born in 2004 or 2005 to play summer soccer with our 2004/05 Girls Team this summer. The team has begun preseason training and is interested in adding players.

Soccer is a year round sport and there are many occasions where activities are affected by inclement weather. The Kingston Clippers will not cancel a scheduled event as long the facility being rented for the activity remains open. 

Of course, club members are to use their discretion to determine if they can attend any Clippers event safely.

At the Kingston Clippers Soccer Club, our vision is to provide the people of Kingston, Ontario with access to affordable, quality soccer and fundamental movement coaching in a FUN learning environment. The Kingston Clippers are a non-profit organization with over 2,000 members. We are a community sport organization that prides itself on inclusiveness.

The opportunity to participate at every level of the player pathway is offered at our club that provides recreational programs for children as young as two years old all the way to adulthood. Our members also have the opportunity to play competitively from the age of nine onwards.  Over 50 local sponsors play a major role within our organization providing financial support for necessities such as field time, referees, uniforms, equipment, travel, and without their continued support our club would cease to exist.
