Welcome to EPICSoccerCoach support site. Although this site was initially created to support the live coach development sessions that we facilitate with our Partner Clubs, we have extended the reach of this content by now accommodating individual, team and club memberships.

We have been sharing our learnings around player development for a very long time. Most recently, EPIC has worked directly with clubs on Vancouver Island since 2011, and more recently as of 2018 throughout British Columbia, Nova Scotia and the Yukon since. To read more click HERE.

WHAT OUR CLUB DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS ARE SAYING ABOUT EPIC COACH DEVELOPMENT

Canadian fútbol is evolving, right now, before our eyes! EPIC soccer is on the cutting edge of this change. Both culturally and technically. The four core values of EPIC really hit home for me as I was looking to improve as a coach. Club coaches looking for a framework to begin their journey will find themselves remarkably well outfitted for the adventure ahead.
Dan Turner (Coach / Board Member)Fort St. John Soccer Club
Partnering with EPIC has provided our club with comprehensive, integrated programming and a clear direction forward. The overall EPIC philosophy, online coaching education sessions and readily available support provide an outstanding framework for clubs and coaches look to improve the quality of coaching and move their club programming forward.
Jim Nicholas (President / Coach)Quesnel Youth Soccer Association
EPIC have been the perfect partners for Lakehill Soccer! Their focus on player-first development in a group setting is a perfect complement to our club philosophy. The coach training and materials they have provided are second-to-none and we feel have helped put our club on the forefront of coach and player development within our District.
