Training for the Fall Phase will begin the week of August 5. Goalkeepers will have position specific training on a weekly basis in addition to their team training. Goalkeeping sessions will begin in September and be based in Vernon for this season as the majority of the goalkeepers on our teams are based in Vernon.
We are currently in the process of putting together the training schedules for all teams. We do our best to keep training time consistent, but there are challenges such as field availability/closures, coach availability, changing seasonal light conditions, and weather which can force unavoidable changes from month to month or even week to week. Training schedules are released to teams at the earliest possible times for each period.
During preseason (either in August or during the second phase preseason in January/February), we will be getting all new players scheduled in with Movement Okanagan of Kelowna for a pre screening program that identifies and addresses pre-existing injuries and provides information on preventative measures for lessening injury risk during training. Movement Okanagan is a club partner with multiple physiotherapists that service the club’s players. Physiotherapists work with injured TOFC athletes to enhance their ability to return to the field as quickly as possible. Athletes needing immediate treatment during the soccer season can see Movement physiotherapists who are committed to getting the athletes of TOFC in for treatment as quickly as possible. In addition to this expedited treatment process for all TOFC athletes, these physiotherapists are also providing their treatments to the athletes of TOFC at a discounted rate.
Game Schedule
Home game fields are in Kelowna and (occasionally) Kamloops depending on the league schedule. Okanagan grass fields re open late April and close late October. Games outside of this window are always away and on the Coast.
The FALL schedule is tentatively set to start the weekend of September 7/8. Many of our games this phase will be home games. Thanksgiving weekend, October 12/13, is an off weekend for games.
Our 2012, 2011, and 2010 teams will be playing in the Premier International Cup in Surrey on the Labor Day Weekend.
Premier International Cup schedules and regular game schedules will be made available as soon as we have them. We take chartered buses with professional drivers to ALL away games.
We will break just after the final season games in late November until January 2025.
Winter Training:
For winter training (January and February), we try to limit travel as much as possible each week, so there is one regional training session set up somewhere near the players’ main home area and one team session indoor. This cuts training travel down when the roads are potentially snowy. There will also be a weekly Strength and Conditioning session in the players’ home area.
Games prior to our Okanagan fields opening ALL take place on the Lower Mainland, so you can expect weekly game travel until mid-late April. Again, all team travel is by chartered bus with professional drivers.
Travel itineraries are sent to Team Managers during the week prior to travel, generally on the Tuesday or Wednesday. Players, coaches, and managers travel (and stay over as a team if necessary), and all adults on the buses are CRC cleared. Female teams all have female managers.
Spring Break for 2025 is PROJECTED to be Monday March 18 thru Friday, March 29 in the Okanagan region. Good Friday is Friday March 29. Spring Break on the Coast is also March 17-28 in 2025. March 22-23 weekend is the most likely weekend over Spring Break with no games, BUT, this is not confirmed at this point in time.
Easter Break 2025 is Good Friday April 18 to Easter Monday April 21. Some teams play over Easter, so it is not a guaranteed OFF weekend. 2009-2008 teams will play at the Premier Showcase in Surrey/Burnaby over Easter and 2011-2009 and 2007 teams MAY have league games that weekend as well.
BC Provincial Premier Cup playoffs take place in June, culminating in the Premier Cup final on the third weekend of June.
2025-26 Evaluations follow in July, and the cycle of the BCSPL teams begins again.
