The Canada Soccer 2015 Sport Chek National Championships is one of Canada's largest national amateur competition to take place across the country in various age categories and showcases the nation's best soccer clubs in a series of week-long tournaments. The coast to coast competition is set to kick off this Wednesday, October 7 in St. John's, NL; Surrey, BC; Charlottetown, PE; and Calgary, AB and will conclude with Teck Finals Day on Monday, October 12.

"The National Championships are an exciting opportunity for all involved to experience competing on the national stage while testing themselves on and off the field through fair play, integrity and sportsmanship," says Canada Soccer President Victor Montagliani. "We encourage all participants to take advantage of this occasion and represent their Province and team to the best of their ability, enjoy their time on the pitch and explore their host region. We wish all participating clubs the best in their respective tournaments."

Canada Soccer has been running this annual competition since 1913. It started with the Men's Challenge Trophy and, over time, has expanded to include the Women's Jubilee Trophy as well as three separate youth cups for both boys and girls. This year, 86 teams will be competing in four separate locations across the country, with a total of 1,540 players active over the week.
