’Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the pitch,![]()
Not a player was moving, not even the sub bench.![]()
The jerseys were hung in the locker with care,![]()
In hopes that Saint Football soon would be there.![]()
![]()
The players were nestled all snug in their beds,![]()
While visions of trophies danced in their heads.![]()
With coach in his cap and I with my cleats,![]()
We’d just settled down from our post-practice eats.![]()
![]()
When out on the field there arose such a clatter,![]()
I sprang from the stands to see what was the matter.![]()
Away to the goal I flew like a flash,![]()
Past cones and past nets and a midfield hash.![]()
![]()
The moon on the grass of the freshly cut lawn![]()
Gave a glow to the pitch late Christmas Eve dawn.![]()
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,![]()
But a jolly old coach with a whistle and gear!![]()
![]()
With a quick little warm-up, so lively and quick,![]()
I knew in a moment—it must be St. Nick!![]()
More rapid than wingers his players they came,![]()
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name:![]()
![]()
“Now Striker! Now Goalie! Now Center and Back!![]()
On Winger! On Sweeper! Defend and attack!![]()
To the top of the box! To the end of the wall!![]()
Now pass away! Pass away! Give it your all!”![]()
![]()
Like leaves that before the wild press fly,![]()
When they meet with a challenge, they lift it up high.![]()
So up to the net-top the players they flew,![]()
With a ball full of hopes—and St. Nicholas too.![]()
![]()
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the turf![]()
The dribbling and passing of each nimble footwork burst.![]()
As I drew in my head and was turning around,![]()
Down the sideline St. Nick came with a bound.![]()
![]()
He was dressed all in red, from his hat to his socks,![]()
And his kit was all grass-stained from tackles and blocks.![]()
A bag full of balls he had flung on his back,![]()
And he looked like a manager ready to attack.![]()
![]()
His eyes—how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!![]()
His cheeks were like goalposts, his nose like a cherry.![]()
His droll little grin was drawn up like a bow,![]()
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.![]()
![]()
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,![]()
Filled boots with new studs—no cheap plastic or murk.![]()
And laying his finger aside of his nose,![]()
He gave a quick nod, and upfield he rose.![]()
![]()
He sprang to the sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,![]()
And away they all flew like a perfectly hit missile.![]()
But I heard him exclaim, as he crossed midfield light:![]()
“Happy Christmas to all— play fair and play bright!”
When you register you might have questions about the birth year versus the age. The registration form is set up so that all players are registered by birth year, so as long as you have the correct birth year they will end up in the right program!![]()
![]()
The 'Ages' is in reference to how old they are right now. So one child born in Feb 2012, is currently 13 years old, but will turn 14 in February 2026. Another child who is born end of December 2012 is currently 12, turns 13 this month, and will turn 14 before the end of 2026. Clear as mud?!?!![]()

Register by birth year, and players will be rostered to their appropriate teams when the season starts!

Special Recognition: Krista Profili-Fontes ![]()
Krista has shown over the past 10 years her dedication to making sure soccer happens in her community. From organizing the teams and coaches, mini-world cup-style jamboree events, painting fields, coaching and now as a referee. Krista is a firm believer that soccer should be offered to all and she does her best to limit financial barriers.

Referee of the year: Sidney Compston![]()
For more than 15 years, Sid has refereed, coached, mentored and taught from grassroots programs and has even been an accessor. For numerous years he was the RDO for the Kootenays. He has also been the Referee Coordinator in his local club as well as organizing referees to help officiate numerous tournaments in and around the Kootenays. He is well respected by players, coaches and parents alike. His love for the game not only shows in every interaction he has with those he interacts with but is also very infectious. It is not uncommon for Sid to be in his hometown of Trail during the week and on the weekend, you can find him teaching and mentoring other officials as far away as Golden, Fernie or somewhere in between.

’Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the pitch,![]()
Not a player was moving, not even the sub bench.![]()
The jerseys were hung in the locker with care,![]()
In hopes that Saint Football soon would be there.![]()
![]()
The players were nestled all snug in their beds,![]()
While visions of trophies danced in their heads.![]()
With coach in his cap and I with my cleats,![]()
We’d just settled down from our post-practice eats.![]()
![]()
When out on the field there arose such a clatter,![]()
I sprang from the stands to see what was the matter.![]()
Away to the goal I flew like a flash,![]()
Past cones and past nets and a midfield hash.![]()
![]()
The moon on the grass of the freshly cut lawn![]()
Gave a glow to the pitch late Christmas Eve dawn.![]()
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,![]()
But a jolly old coach with a whistle and gear!![]()
![]()
With a quick little warm-up, so lively and quick,![]()
I knew in a moment—it must be St. Nick!![]()
More rapid than wingers his players they came,![]()
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name:![]()
![]()
“Now Striker! Now Goalie! Now Center and Back!![]()
On Winger! On Sweeper! Defend and attack!![]()
To the top of the box! To the end of the wall!![]()
Now pass away! Pass away! Give it your all!”![]()
![]()
Like leaves that before the wild press fly,![]()
When they meet with a challenge, they lift it up high.![]()
So up to the net-top the players they flew,![]()
With a ball full of hopes—and St. Nicholas too.![]()
![]()
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the turf![]()
The dribbling and passing of each nimble footwork burst.![]()
As I drew in my head and was turning around,![]()
Down the sideline St. Nick came with a bound.![]()
![]()
He was dressed all in red, from his hat to his socks,![]()
And his kit was all grass-stained from tackles and blocks.![]()
A bag full of balls he had flung on his back,![]()
And he looked like a manager ready to attack.![]()
![]()
His eyes—how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!![]()
His cheeks were like goalposts, his nose like a cherry.![]()
His droll little grin was drawn up like a bow,![]()
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.![]()
![]()
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,![]()
Filled boots with new studs—no cheap plastic or murk.![]()
And laying his finger aside of his nose,![]()
He gave a quick nod, and upfield he rose.![]()
![]()
He sprang to the sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,![]()
And away they all flew like a perfectly hit missile.![]()
But I heard him exclaim, as he crossed midfield light:![]()
“Happy Christmas to all— play fair and play bright!”
When you register you might have questions about the birth year versus the age. The registration form is set up so that all players are registered by birth year, so as long as you have the correct birth year they will end up in the right program!![]()
![]()
The 'Ages' is in reference to how old they are right now. So one child born in Feb 2012, is currently 13 years old, but will turn 14 in February 2026. Another child who is born end of December 2012 is currently 12, turns 13 this month, and will turn 14 before the end of 2026. Clear as mud?!?!![]()

For more than 15 years, Sid has refereed, coached, mentored and taught from grassroots programs and has even been an accessor. For numerous years he was the RDO for the Kootenays. He has also been the Referee Coordinator in his local club as well as organizing referees to help officiate numerous tournaments in and around the Kootenays. He is well respected by players, coaches and parents alike. His love for the game not only shows in every interaction he has with those he interacts with but is also very infectious. It is not uncommon for Sid to be in his hometown of Trail during the week and on the weekend, you can find him teaching and mentoring other officials as far away as Golden, Fernie or somewhere in between.
