 We have completed another great season with several highlights and accomplishments. Our AGM was well attended, with a new Board of Directors elected and key volunteer positions being appointed. Our volunteers give their time generously and we at KLM are very grateful for their time and commitment to our youth. Simply put, KLM would not be where we are today with our excellent group of volunteers. The new Board and the other volunteers are all eager and ready to start working towards another successful year. Please give them your support and assistance when ever and where ever you can.To thank last year’s volunteers, KLM had a Volunteer Night with a dinner and dance for our volunteers and guests. This was a great and fun filled event and everyone is looking forward towards next’s year dinner and dance.
This past season, we had our Whitecaps night and Wendy’s/Whitecaps soccer camp. These two events with the Whitecaps were well received and supported. We held our annual August Jamboree to kick off the season and the turnout was excellent. This event is getting bigger and bigger each year thanks to the hard work of the Organizers. In between these two events, KLM partnered with Kensington Community Center to put on our annual summer soccer camps with outside professional coaches running the program.
Some of our teams won some titles and cups and most teams participated tournaments. Over all KLM boys and girls teams fared well and are already looking forward to next season.Other highlights include:
- Increased usage of gyms for practices
- Commitment to develop coaches who in turn will develop players
- KLM gear and apparel has been made available and has been selling well
- Our sponsorship base has increased, especially in community based sponsors
- KLM Board approved new Adidas uniforms for boys and girls divisional teams
Again, many thanks to our volunteers and our sponsors, without you, our success would be limited. We would not be where we are today without any of you.
Thank you all for a great 2008/2009 season |

 KLM Soccer Association will again be holding summer soccer camps for players aged 6 - 12 and registered with KLM for the upcoming season. The camps will be held at the Kensington Community Centre (33rdAvenue and Knight Street) and are scheduled afternoons from 3:00 – 5:30 pm. The fee will be $40 per registered player for a 5 day camp.
If you need full day care for your child, you will be able to register your child in one of the regularKensington Community Centre daycamps that take place from 9 am - 3 pm. The daycamp will have a list of KLM soccer players who are registered for the soccer camp and will take your child to the soccer pitch at 3 pm and drop them off to the coach. The Community Centre daycamps are not organized by KLM and thereforeyou will need to register your child with Kensington Community Centre at 604-718-6200. The KCC day care camps are open to children aged 6 to 12 and start the week of July 6th.
