Surrey United Soccer was first formed in 1968 and had only six teams.
With such a small Surrey population back then Surrey United covered
all areas of Surrey except Guildford and Whalley.
The club participated in the Westminster District and teams had to
travel extensively to play other teams.
Over the years the club had had many different styles of uniforms but
has now adopted its colors of red, white and black.
In the 1970's, Surrey United pioneered the first mini soccer program
that is now one of the fastest growing aspects of youth soccer.
In 1994 the club forged an affiliation with an Adult organization and
that subsequently blossomed into us becoming the first fully integrated
soccer club in British Columbia where we offered a full range of soccer
programs from Minis to Masters to players of both genders.
In fact it was in1997 that the club was granted approval to run a girls
program which has been steadily growing.
Originally headquarted at Unwin Park we moved our headquarters to
Cloverdale Athletic Park and due to substantial fundraising activities
at the club we were able to build our own clubhouse club at that
location which is still the envy of most of the local soccer clubs.
The club holds regular monthly meetings there during the soccer season.
Everyone is welcome including coaches, assistant coaches, managers,
parents and players aged 16 or older.
Surrey United has a continually expanding membership in excess of 2,300
players and expansion from just over 400 players in 1994.
