About Us

Our Story

The Burnaby 30-Something Women’s Soccer League was founded in 1995. What began with a small group of women seeking a welcoming and recreational space to play soccer, has grown into a vibrant community hub, welcoming hundreds of women across the Lower Mainland over the past three decades.

With a focus on inclusivity, connection, and fun, the league continues to offer opportunities for women aged 30 and older to play soccer regardless of skill level.

We welcome any woman aged 30 and older, at any skill level.

Vision

Fostering a vibrant community where women 30+ are empowered to find connection, confidence, and belonging through soccer.

Mission

To offer a supportive, fun, and inclusive league that invites women of all skill levels to enjoy soccer, build friendships, and be part of a strong community.
