Guildford Athletic Club

Waiting to hear back from Registrar after team allocations went wild. Poor coaching by untrained volunteers is a big problem in the GAC. Specially when it comes to young children, they must enjoy the game. If that is not happening due to a coach, that is a sad story and going to have a strong effect in the child's sports career. Registrar usually gives you two options 1. Take your money and leave (after deducting 50CAD admin fee, what a penalty) 2. Stay and play on the allocated team. --- Its a very rigid and unfriendly policy. As parents, there are many good fellows in this Club. However, Its sad to see their standards are going on the down hill day after day. If someone want to start a new club, I am in.

The location and facilities are very good.... I'm not at liberty to discuss the coaching credentials of volunteer coaches but Guildford Athletic is not the only soccer club there...North Surrey Football Club is also there and they are a young, ambitious club with excellent coaches and they train on those fields as well.... there are alternative options available at the same location....who knows it might be a fit....

My kids have been playing with the Guildford Athletic Club for the last 10 years and I have coached 2 teams for the last 8 years with this club. This is a great soccer club with amazing technical staff. Would recommend this club to players of all ages.

My child has played for this club for 3+ years, things were good for the first couple years but have really declined lately. He is on a development team that receives very very minimal staff lead training and instead primarily depend on volunteer coaches that aren't certified nor do they appear to recieve training & aren't well versed with the sport. I myself along with many other parents are discussing the option of removing our children from this club if there isn't any positive change.

Both of my kids played soccer from elementary school to graduation at GAC, the staff and coaches were always amazing.

My daughter plays for GAC, the coaches are amazing and they completely empower the girls. My daughter has gained so much confidence playing on this team.

Great club my son has played here for almost 4 years. Great staff coaches and top notch field.

Great environment and community to learn soccer and grow as player. My time at this club has been truly amazing and made me feel apart of a team.

I like having a take out lunch here and it is close to work. Peaceful, quiet and watching soccer or practice is entertaining

Reasonable soccer program for kids. Instruction for some of the younger ages could be better, but rely heavily on parents and volunteers. So still pretty good
