Community Program (U12B, U13B, U15B, U18B)

Halifax Dunbrack Soccer Club's Community Program is aimed at players who are new to the game, or less experienced in the game, who want to learn or improve their skills in a quality soccer environment. These groups have 2 training sessions per week with weekly games played in the Nova Scotia Soccer League (NSSL). The curriculum in this program aims at helping players improve their skills while enjoying a more relaxed, fun environment. 

Starting this season, the Community Program will feature only the B division, which is in keeping with the recreational nature of this level. The A division programs have been moved to the more competitive Development Program.

Community Program Uniforms

Dunbrack Soccer is proud to partner with Joma Canada to supply our players with our club training kit, game jerseys and equipment.

• All Community players must purchase a Joma training kit bundle (training shirt, shorts and socks) for the 2025 Summer season, unless they already own the Joma training kit from a previous season.

• The Joma training kit bundle package will be available for purchase on the RAMP registration platform at a cost of $50, and will be available for pickup at our club office.

• You will be able to select your Joma training kit size when you register. 

• Players will wear their training kit for practices, replacing the training shirt with the game jersey for games. They will be charged a game jersey deposit with their registration fee, which will be refunded when the game jersey is returned at the end of the season.
