Welcome to our annual IDSC U8 festival, celebrating an incredible season of soccer in Ilderton, Lucan, St. Marys, and London! We are so excited to have nearly 200 players join us for a fun day of play. The details outlined below should include everything you need to know for the day of our event.
All games will be played at Deerhaven Optimist Park in Ilderton. The street address for the park is 20 Stonefield Gate, Ilderton. There are two main parking areas on site with street parking also available on neighbouring roads (enter off Meredith Drive or Stonefield Gate). Washrooms are available centrally, at the field house near the stormwater management pond.
Each team will play two games total, with the first matches kicking off mid-morning and the final matches beginning mid-to-late afternoon.
Soccer Canada and Grassroots Soccer Fests, along with named sponsors, are proud to provide each registered player with a take-home package including a certificate, temporary tattoos, stickers, and a reusable bag. These will be distributed to teams throughout the day. Please make sure your player goes home with one as thanks for joining us!
