Norfolk County Youth Soccer Park, 660 West St

The rapid rise on player numbers and teams forced the realization that the number of fields and their condition, where no longer adequate to support our Club. A small group of determined Board members, along with supporters from Norfolk County Mayor, Councillors and Staff along with our community embarked on an ambitious project to build a new soccer Norfolk County Youth Soccer Park, 660 West St, The dream of a new Soccer Park came true in 2003 Norfolk County and Simcoe & District Youth Soccer Park purchased the property each paying 50% of the total cost . In 2006 the Simcoe and District Youth Soccer Club had its Grand Opening at the new Norfolk County Youth Soccer Park on July 23rd of that year. In a period of 4 years the Club raised $450,000 and created an important partnership with Norfolk County’s Community Services Department and the Norfolk Pros Foundation. Literally dozens of service clubs and local businesses came to the club’s aid and supported the community’s shared dream for a state-of-the-art soccer park to better provide Norfolk’s youth the opportunity to play soccer on high quality fields. In 2008 the Club embarked in development of Phase II, which will include development of 3 new fields on the west side of the park, which begin in September. They consist of 2 regulation size fields and one intermediate size field. As well new parking was developed, and irrigation to water the new fields installed. In 2012 the club embarked on Phase III a building with washroom facilities. Also, a Pavilion was erected with the help of Lions Club of Simcoe where players, coaches, officials, and parents can enjoy! The Board of Directors have raised (with help from many in our membership and businesses) and repaid Norfolk County over $1 million to date. The Norfolk County Youth Soccer Park could not have been finished to the point it is for all to enjoy without Norfolk County Mayor, Councillors and Norfolk County Staff with their help with this big project went from a dream to reality within 10 years and The Board of Directors of the SDYSC and members are very much appreciative of Norfolk County help along with our many fantastic sponsors and businesses! With the help of our many supporters and our dedicated Board of Directors and Club Manager, we continue to forge ahead in providing opportunities for children and youth in Simcoe, Waterford, Port Dover, and surrounding areas, regardless of financial, physical, or mental ability, gender, or cultural background, to play recreational soccer. All outdoor soccer games are played at this wonderful Norfolk Country Youth Soccer Park.
