SOCCER CAPE BRETON

The CAPERS Academy and Soccer Cape Breton, through our Minis and Skill Centre programs, is proud of our partnership with the powerhouse goCAPERSgo Varsity soccer franchises.
We feel the impact it has made has already been remarkable.
In the Boys Academy Jamie Nicholson, Kieran Maddock, Amadou Bayo, Harvey Hughes, Luka Palajsa, Mateo Goldsztein, Max Piepgrass, Ryan Wadden and many others have been great mentors to our players.
In the Girls Academy Ally Rowe, Charly Mitchell, Grace Hannaford, Ellie Lancaster, Makenna Acevedo and now AFC Toronto striker Lauren Rowe and others have been female role models.
And that's before you mention the superb impact of this season's U17AAA Girls Head Coach Elle MacDougall and 2025 CAPERS captain Joe Mac who are now such influential figures in the growth of our players as hugely popular coaches.
Now the 2026 Men's team is here with an incredible 14 new faces and Monday night is your soccer player's first chance to meet them!
CAPERS are hosting a special Meet and Greet session in conjunction with Soccer Cape Breton that will include some fun 4 v 4 games on the field, a signing session and then your chance to watch the new players for FREE in the first inter-squad match of the season.

CAPERS Academy U15AAA Girls are Maritime Cup Finalists!
The island squad battled bravely yesterday in the semi-final at Mainland Commons in Halifax to down powerhouse Suburban FC 2-1 with goals from Evelyn Power and Zoe Watson.
Now the squad, expertly guided by goCAPERSgo double USPORTS National title-winning coach Deano Morley, will face United DFC for the inaugural Maritime title at Saint Mary's University this afternoon. The game is a 1pm kick-off.
The game will be live streamed by hosts Soccer Nova Scotia and you can cheer the girls on there from afar, let them feel your support!
