DROP-INS + CLINICS
We will be hosting casual drop-in sessions and clinics throughout the upcoming season (May to August), open to both registered and non-registered players.
Sunday drop-in sessions are back, and we’re happy to be offering them on SELECT SUNDAYS this summer, with some special one-day mini tournaments thrown in!
Drop-in sessions
Drop-in sessions will be held at either Adanac Park NW or Clinton Park SW from 6:30 to 8:00 (option to warm up starting at 6:00). The setup will be multiple teams playing shorter, small field games (e.g., 6 v 6) in a round robin style. These sessions are casual, beginner-friendly, and designed as a way to welcome more players into the QVS community. Below you can find more info on the drop-in sessions, including the full summer schedule and important details for playing.
All registered QVS players (on a team, on the waitlist, sub list, and drop-in only) are welcome to come to drop-ins, but we do ask that players who have not paid a season registration fee chip in to help cover the additional permit costs and field maintenance by paying $5 per drop-in session. The $5 payment can be sent via e-transfer to queervansoccer@gmail.com. That being said, we will not turn away players who don’t pay, as we want these sessions to be as accessible as possible.
Mini tournaments
These are approx. 3-hour long tournaments for teams of up to 10 players playing on small fields (think drop-in style, but with tournament rules and prizes).

The outcome of these games will set the brackets for Round 2 (8:00-9:00), where teams will face off for final places.
Registration details:
Players can register as a group or as a free agent using the button above.
Note that only ONE representative from each group needs to register! Just make sure to include the names and e-mails of everyone in your group. After registering, each player will need to e-transfer the $10 registration fee to queervansoccer@gmail.com. Free agents and groups must register AND pay the registration fee by [date TBD] so that we can finalize teams and plan the tournament schedule.
