JDF is thrilled to announce our partnership with Valencia CF Academy for an exclusive summer camp experience on Vancouver Island! Hosted at the Westshore Parks and Rec grass fields August 10th to 14th.

The coaching staff for these camps come from Valencia, Spain and the International Academy in Canada. Player groups are formed on the first day of the camp, and any necessary adjustments are made on the second day to ensure that each participant is placed in an appropriate group based on their skill level and age.

Community Sponsorship Opportunities

Strong Club. Strong Community. Sponsorships help keep soccer accessible and support our players both on and off the field. As we prepare for the 2026/27 season, we are excited to share another year of growth, development, and community through soccer.

As a non-profit club, one of the key ways we can continue to keep our programming accessible and thriving is through sponsorships. The Juan de Fuca Soccer Association has a large footprint in the region, and many of our families are connected to local businesses - creating an opportunity to strengthen both our club and our community.

Community Sponsorship Package - $1,000 (August 2026 to August 2027): Your business will receive: Website Recognition (business logo & link on our website for the full 2026/27 season), Social Media Promotion (two independent sponsor posts), and Newsletter Feature (inclusion in our club newsletter sent to our full membership).
