Attendance is mandatory at the Academy sessions in the Fall and Winter. Game support from staff coaches at two games early in the season. Note that Academy is on Mondays and the Van U/Whitecaps sessions are on Tuesdays for boys teams, Thursdays for girls teams.
• Additional tournaments are to be decided by the team themselves. Teams will need to cover the costs for any tournaments.
• A pre-season training camp the last week of August will be offered but is optional.
• Both the seasonal and academy kits are included in the fees.

Please note that VanU FC makes the best effort possible to make up sessions lost to field closures in the event of inclement weather but will not issue partial or whole refunds due to training sessions or games that could not be re-scheduled. The exception to this is that all players registered in Academy will receive pro-rated credits for Academy sessions lost to field closures. These credits can be used for future Academy sessions. Program details are subject to change.
