Competitive soccer puts us all (coaches, organizers, players, parents and families) in high pressure situations, and our club works to create a safe environment for us to learn from them. Mahone Bay coaches are all trying to create an experience of community, grow the players individual confidence and increase everyone’s ability to play soccer. Read on to discover how soccer in Mahone Bay can serve your player(s) and your family.
OUR APPROACH
Our coaches create an experience of community, grow the players individual confidence and increase everyone’s ability to play soccer. We focus on how we play ahead of winning. The type of player and person we are trying to build at our club we call our “player profile”:

- Problem solver mentality
- Courageous creativity and self expression
- Positive team player and contributor
- Passing to create opportunities
"AS SOON AS YOU HAVE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS ALL ABOUT WINNING, IT TAKES AWAY FROM THAT 'PLAYING FREE' MENTALITY. YOU CAN HAVE A COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT AND MAKE IT FUN. THE FOCUS NEEDS TO BE CREATIVITY INSTEAD OF RESULTS."

A BEAUTIFUL FIELD
We recently upgraded the field in the heart of Mahone Bay. It is gorgeous to play on, comfortable for spectators and right next to the Mahone Bay Centre, with all of their facilities. There are rumours of match day food this year too!! Come join us in our community outdoor space. |

AFFORDABLE SOCCER - WHY DO WE HAVE A SLIDING SCALE?
Equitable access to our programs is important to us. We believe that every family should have the flexibility to determine the price of their children's program based on their current circumstances. To ensure support for all our families, we've implemented a sliding scale pricing model, offering you the choice of different payment options. We ask that you select the payment option that aligns best with your individual and family needs. Please be assured that there are no intrusive questions involved and that your payment choices are kept confidential.

DEVELOP PROGRAMMING
U11-15 programming will include sessions throughout the season from what was previously the MBU Develop program. In addition to technical training and enhanced player development, we bring in speakers and guest coaches, do team building and leadership development activities and actively build the players engagement in the global game. |

HALIFAX WANDERERS F.C. PARTNERSHIP
The pros are on our team! We have a partnership with the Halifax Wanderers. They are helping us build our competitive teams, coach development and club structure. We do club trips to watch games in the city and players have the opportunity to walk on with the pros, be ball kids and play in the half time game. There are also two Wanderers camps every summer in Mahone Bay. See below for dates and registration. |

TOURNAMENTS AND EXHIBITION GAMES
U11-U15 teams will get the opportunity to play tournaments and exhibition games against city teams. Which teams do these activities will depend on the levels, desire and availability among the players. Players can be entered into the Soccer Nova Scotia Player ID sessions where appropriate.
