Island Training Centre Re-opens for Multi-Sport programs

Langford’s newest sports facility, the Island Training Centre, is reopening to provide multi-sport programs for all levels and abilities. The 55,000 square-foot facility on Kettle Lake Drive is the largest indoor field house in British Columbia and will offer soccer, basketball, baseball, futsal, softball and volleyball.

“We are thrilled to be re-opening so that sports-lovers of all ages can begin to enjoy our programing and this remarkable facility,” said Joe Wood, general manager, Island Training Centre. “We know that after this long break, people are ready to get back to being active and seeing their friends and teammates.”

The training centre is Powered by Pacific FC (Pacific Football Club), but goes well beyond soccer in its offerings. While following the protocol set out by the province, the facility will offer leagues and camps starting this summer and programming to run throughout the year.

“One of the best aspects of this new facility is that it is year-round and keeps our guests active and out of the rain in the winter months,” said Wood. “There will be something here for everyone.”

Recent additions being made to the Island Training Centre include the addition of a bar, a FIFA lounge where visitors can try their hand at online gaming and a pop-up merchandise store. Beyond the organized sports leagues, the facility will host a full range of events including themed birthday parties, and can be rented for conferences and tournaments.

At the beginning of June, Pacific Football Club received approval from its provincial and municipal health authorities and the Canadian Premier League to return to training. The club currently holds voluntary workouts for players at the Island Training Centre.

Young soccer players from all over the region participate in the Trident and Wave youth development programs. During Phase one of the COVID-19 lockdown, these youth programs were made available to families on an online basis, but they will now begin to open up at the Island Training Centre and will strictly follow the provincial health guidelines.
