Commonwealth Cup Finalists 2011-12
Boys Divisional Soccer is made up of teams aged U13 to U18 entered at the Gold, Silver or Bronze level. For the 2011/2012 season, KLM has ten Divisional boys teams all playing at the Silver level. As part of "4-District" soccer, we interlock with teams from Vancouver, Burnaby, North Shore and Richmond.
On top of our regular league games, the 4-District League sets up a separate cup competition to determine a winner at each age group and level. Bronze teams play for the Burrard Cup, Silver teams play for the Commonwealth Cup and Gold teams play for the Pioneer Cup.
This year, two KLM teams have earned a berth in the Commonwealth Cup Finals taking place March 3rd in Burnaby. U15 Fusion will be playing in the Silver 1 Cup finals. No stranger to Cup play, the Fusion are hoping to become back-to-back winners as they won the Commonwealth Cup last season at U14. U14 Kryptonians will be playing in the Silver 2 Cup finals. The Kryptonians are playing in their first ever cup finals.
Special recognition also goes to the U15 Kickers who would also be heading to the finals had it not been for an overtime loss. Kudos to the boys and team officials for a job well-done.
Special congratulations to the Biln family as brothers Gavin (U15) and Steven (U14) are both in the finals.

KLM Scholarships
This year, for the first time in the history of the KLM Soccer Association, the club will be awarding a $500 scholarship to a successful male and female applicant heading from Grade 12 to a post-secondary institution.
Applications and qualification outlines will be forwarded to all U18 teams and the information will also be posted on the website in the spring of 2012. It is expected that, to be eligible, players will need to submit their applications by mid-September of next year.

To all parents, players and volunteers at KLM
The first half of the soccer season is now complete, and although it was not without challenges, I feel very good about the product that KLM has brought to our children this season. I hope that all of you, whether you are part of our mini’s (U6-U10) program or are part of our divisional (U11-U18) program, that you have found the experience as rewarding as I have. If we judge the success of the club by the smiling faces on the little guys playing at Mt. Pleasant and Mackenzie Schools every Saturday, then I would have to say it was a big success.

KLM Joins With Community Centres to Offer Soccer Camps
Kensington Little Mountain (KLM) and two area community centre’s, Kensington Community Center (KCC) and Mount Pleasant Community Centre (MPCC) have come together in a collaborative initiative to deliver a joint recreational Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer Camps. This joint partnership will greatly enhance the soccer skills of our area youth in order to perpetuate the game of soccer at the 3-5 and 6-12 age levels. This program will allow us to recruit new boys and girls to KLM and give exposure to our club in the community while jointly sharing coaches and facilities. This unification will strengthen the presence of soccer in the local area.
Through the partnership, KCC and MPCC will be looking after all administrative functions including the handling and processing of all registrations. KLM qualified staff coaches will oversee the curriculum and day operations as well as provide the resources necessary to instruct new coaches and provide a mentorship program for new coaches.
This fall KLM will also be continuing with our successful Star Challenge program and offering a new individual skills program for Club members wanting to improve on their individual skills. The program will be conducted separately from the joint recreational program.
Details on the Star Challenge and Individuals Skills programs are underway or will be available before the start of the 2012 season. If your child is interested in the above programs, please contact Mike Martins.

BC Soccer Coaching Blueprint for Success
Anyone that has recently viewed the BC soccer web site looking for coaching clinics has perhaps noticed that there is nothing scheduled beyond December 2011. An all new approach will be delivered within BC in 2012. In early November, I sat in on the BC Soccer presentation on its new Long Term Player Development (LTPD) program. This is the new program that has been guided by Sport Canada and the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA). The presentation was run by Michael Findley, Director of Football Development of BC Soccer Association.
