About CBFC

Cape Breton FC (CBFC) is a member club of Soccer Cape Breton (SCB) and enters teams in the Nova Scotia Soccer League (NSSL). The AA and AAA divisions of the NSSL represent the highest levels of youth soccer competition in Nova Scotia and are comprised of clubs representing districts from across the province. Cape Breton FC represents the Soccer Cape Breton district in the NSSL. CBFC provides an opportunity for players from all community clubs within Soccer Cape Breton to be challenged at the highest possible level of soccer in the province.

CBFC identifies players with high potential through players assessments, winter programs, school programs, coaches’ recommendations, with input from our director of soccer development. CBFC expects its coaches to reach advanced levels of coach certification and helps them to achieve this.

Our soccer community is relatively small and opportunities for off-season development are limited. Soccer Cape Breton, with the support of CBFC and other SCB coaches, offers Fall and Winter programs to provide a year-round soccer experience for players who want to enjoy this game and continue to develop during the off-season.

Soccer Cape Breton is a non-profit organization.Â As a member of Soccer Nova Scotia, Soccer Cape BretonÂ is the governing body for soccer in the Cape Breton region.

We oversee the clubs within our district and handle things such as scheduling, registration, and refereeing. In the summer, we also run soccer festivals within the clubs for the mini age groups.

In addition, Soccer Cape Breton runs its own programs within the CBHRC complex. The Minis Program runs from fall to spring for children aged 3-10. This program teaches kids the fundamentals of soccer through physical, technical and tactical development, while incorporating fun into every drill!

We also have a Winter Academy for kids aged 11 and up. These players engage in weekly sessions which focus on increasing their technical and tactical abilities.
