May 28, 2025
The 2025 BC Soccer Premier League (BCSPL) regular season concluded this past weekend, marking the end of an exciting campaign across the U14 to U17 divisions. Teams from across British Columbia showcased their development and competitiveness, setting the stage for the upcoming Provincial Premier Cup.
Standout Performances and League Champions
Throughout the season, clubs adhered to the Player Development Program (PDP) standards, emphasizing a 3:1 training-to-match ratio and ensuring coaches met specific certification requirements. This commitment to development was evident in the performances on the pitch.
In the U15 and U17 divisions, where stakes included qualification for the Canada Soccer PDP Championships in Vaughan, Ontario (August 27–31), the following teams emerged as league champions and secured their spots as BC’s first representatives:
- U15 Boys: Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club
- U15 Girls: Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club
- U17 Boys: Van Isle Wave
- U17 Girls: Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club
These teams demonstrated consistent excellence throughout the season, earning their positions at the top of their respective standings.

Upcoming Provincial Premier Cup
All BCSPL teams have qualified for the Provincial Premier Cup, with the Play-In weekend scheduled for May 31 and June 1. This tournament offers teams another opportunity to claim provincial glory and, for those in the U15 and U17 divisions, a chance to become BC’s second representative at the PDP Championships. If a team wins both the regular season and the Premier Cup, the runner-up in the Premier Cup will take the second representative spot.
Development Beyond the Pitch
The BCSPL’s commitment extends beyond player development. Over 190 coaches have been instrumental in guiding players, supported by initiatives like the BCSPL Coaching Integration Project, which aligns coaching practices with provincial and national standards.
Referee development is also a cornerstone of the league. Officials are provided opportunities to officiate at higher levels, including U-Sports, CCAA, and League1 BC. A notable achievement this season was Kamloops referee Heather Lloyd receiving her first Northern Super League appointment, reflecting the league’s role in advancing officiating careers.
With over 700 female and 840 male players in the U14 to U17 divisions, the BCSPL continues to be a vital platform for aspiring soccer talents in British Columbia. As teams prepare for the Provincial Premier Cup, the focus remains on holistic development, ensuring players, coaches, and referees are equipped for success both on and off the field.
BC Soccer Association
Established in 1904, BC Soccer is the largest provincial sports organization (PSO) in BC and the third largest soccer-specific PSO in Canada with over 150,000 participants, consisting of registered players, coaches, referees, administrators and soccer leaders. As a professional not-for-profit society and a member of Canada Soccer, BC Soccer is committed to providing the widest opportunities for existing and potential participants, as well as provide support in the most effective and appropriate way for current players, parents, volunteers, member clubs, leagues, and districts.
