Leadership

The Competitive program is lead by Club Head Coach Iain Hume.  Growing up in the Ontario Soccer program with a love of the game allowed Iain to become a professional soccer player at the young age of 15. His dedication and passion for the sport allowed Iain to quickly be recognized around the globe, and it was in September of 1999, that Iain left for England to begin his journey of playing professionally. While playing professionally, Iain also continuously studied to progress his coaching badges, since being with Woodstock FC , Iain has recently obtained his UEFA A License.


Competitive Programs U8- U18

Competitive soccer is our Club’s advanced development program, where players are trained by certified coaches. Team coaches are dedicated to player development and certified through Ontario Soccer and Canada Soccer. Our teams represent Woodstock FC while traveling to compete against other clubs within our District (EMSA), and at the older age groups, against teams from across the Region. The goal of our program is to give each player a solid foundation of soccer skill and knowledge to help them develop as players.

Those interested in playing Competitive soccer must attend try-outs, and be accepted into the program by the age group’s coaches. **Note all age groups may not be available.
