Mission Statement

Eastside Memorial FC provides an opportunity for our members to developing, striving and
enjoying the sport of soccer. The Club instills a spirit of family and community values
throughout the organization.

Vision Statement

Support the growth of soccer through a pathway for players, coaches and officials to excel at
the highest level they aspire to, making soccer their sport of choice.
 

Our Philosophy

We believe in the power of play. Play enables youth of all ages to explore new possibilities, test their limits, and unleash their creativity. Beyond the obvious physical health benefits, active play contributes to cognitive, emotional, and social development. Research shows it improves motor function, creativity, decision-making, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and even language development in young children.

 

Inclusive and Accessible Sport

Sport brings people together, breaking down barriers and fostering inclusivity. It should remain accessible—physically, economically, and socially—for everyone. By providing top-tier facilities, we aim to create opportunities for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to participate in soccer and other field sports. More fields mean more chances to play, practice, and build a sense of community.

Participation in sports promotes lifelong healthy habits while offering newcomers a welcoming way to integrate into the community.
