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 safely.

Registration for the Summer Development and Competitive Programs is now open for players who will be playing high level soccer this summer. Go to the "Registration" tab in the main menu above and choose either "Summer Development" or the "Summer Competitive" to do so. 

This season, the registration process is as follows:

1. Parents/guardians must register on-line by January 31, 2019 and pay the non-refundable Commitment Fee as part of this registration.
2. An electronic invoice for the balance  of the registration fee will be sent electronically in early February. This balance must be paid by March 31, 2019.

Purchasing a Competitive/Development Uniform Kit

In partnership with Queen’s University and their supplier T. Litzen’s, the Clippers will offer Nike kit for 2019. As we are re-branded as the Junior Gaels, all competitive players must purchase new uniforms for 2019 which will be used for the next two seasons. The uniform kit will cost $130 and will be ordered directly from T. Litzen's using their website - details on the process to follow.

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.
