IS THERE AN INSTALLMENT PLAN AVAILABLE FOR THE BASE FALL/WINTER 2021/22 REGISTRATION FEES?

Yes, the installment plan is detailed below.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DOES MY CHILD NEED?

Soccer cleats and a pair of shinpads are required for all programs unless otherwise noted.

WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS NEVER PLAYED BEFORE?

Its never too late to learn how to play soccer, get outside and active and meet new friends. Surrey United has programs for all abilities, all ages!

DO YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO COACH OR PLAY SOCCER IN ORDER TO VOLUNTEER/

No experience is necessary to volunteer for a team, just a curiosity and desire to learn soccer and have fun with kids. The players may not remember the practice sessions or the games played, but they will always remember the way their Coaches/ Managers made them feel and the fun they had with their teammates.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE ARE NO VOLUNTEERS FOR MY CHILD'S TEAM?

Hopefully a few Adults will volunteer and share in the responsibility of supporting a team. SUSC is a volunteer-run club, and as such, depends on volunteers to keep players on the field and teams running. If there are no volunteers for a team, the team may be unable to play which would be disappointing for everyone.

HOW MANY VOLUNTEERS DOES IT TAKE FOR A TEAM TO RUN?

Up to 5 to cover all the aspects of the on-field coaching and managing of the team. If more parents volunteered with the team, the more the workload can be spread out. (Many hands make light work!) There does not need to be only one Coach. Many teams have Co-Coaches that share the responsibilities. There's a requirement to have a same-sex adult on all team staff rosters and on the field to comply with the Rule of Two and BC Soccer / Canada soccer requirements. If you like to stay and watch anyways, join the team staff and be a part of the experience!

WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO FIND OUT WHICH DAY A TEAM PLAYS ON?

The City of Surrey allocates fields and facilities through a process that is finalized two weeks before we finalize team rosters and register teams for the season. We must wait for allocations to be finalized by the City and registration to close / teams to be finalized to confirm days and times for teams and schedule all our teams and programs accordingly, without conflicts. Its a very complex process and one we take great price in being the best in thanks to our outstanding scheduler. We know it can be tough for families to plan multi sport schedules but we are limited by outside factors we cannot control and do our very best to provide as much lead time and consistency as possible.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FALL/WINTER SOCCER AND ACADEMIES?

Fall/Winter Season Soccer, like Spring soccer is league (game) play and practice with a team throughout the duration of a season. Where no games can be played due to health authority restrictions, additional game play and technical drills take the place of the games. Team sports provide children and youth with social, mental, emotional and physical development skills that provide them with important skills applicable to all life's challenges within and outside of the team sports environment. Academies are specifically geared to individual skill development in a group setting where members of the training "pod" are at a similar level to one another. The player's pod may include players of their own age, younger or older age, and from within their own regular season team or not. Academies are coached by Club Technical Staff highly skilled to provide an exceptional, professionally led training environment leading to a player's growth in their own skill level and confidence that translates into other areas of their team play and life, generally.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPRING SEASON AND SPRING ACADEMY?

Spring Soccer includes belonging to a team and participating with your team in game play (or training sessions where health restrictions are in place) and practices (dependant on age). With public health officials specifically noting their review of youth sports at the end of February, we are hopeful there will be games this spring as the league begins in April 2021. See our Spring Soccer page for further, age-specific details of this extremely popular program. Spring Academy Programs are individual skills training and development led by Surrey United Soccer Club Technical Staff coaches. This is generally once a week soccer skills training specific to age and ability and focused on player improvement. See our Spring Academy Programs page for more details on these programs which do fill up very quickly. We also have Spring Break Camps available for both weeks of the 2021 Spring Break and these are led by Surrey United Technical Staff Coaches and Club volunteers. See our Spring Break Programs page for more details.

There must be a same-sex adult on the team's roster and on the field with the team to comply with Canada Soccer and BC Soccer's Rule of Two for health and safety reasons as well. If you're a parent that likes to stay and watch - this is a perfect time to volunteer and be a part of these children's experience!

How long should I inhale Hydrogen for it to be effective?

Generally, it takes around 20 minutes for Hydrogen at gas state to reach the cells in all parts of your body.
· In hospitals and clinics in Japan, depending on the patient’s condition, hydrogen inhalation is performed for about 1 hour, 1~3 times a day.
· For athletes, pre/post-exercise, once each, 60~90 minutes per session
· 60 minutes prior to sleep for severe insomnia
· for normal health, once or twice a day (morning and night) 30~60 minutes per session
· For patients during chemotherapy, brain diseases like Parkinson’s, or autoimmune diseases, 4~6 hours (during sleep) For hydrogen inhalation therapy, the more hours you continuously use the better and effective.

Is drinking Hydrogen water different from inhaling Hydrogen?

Yes! It is. Usually 0.001g of hydrogen is present in 1ℓ (half of a large water bottle) of hydrogen water. Therefore, there is barely any trace of hydrogen, and the size is similar to a peck of dust. Scientifically, in room temperature/pressure, maximum amount of hydrogen that can dissolve in 1 liter of water is 1.6mg (0.0016g). However, using 30 minutes of H-1200, a hydrogen generator for inhalation purpose, is equivalent of drinking 18,000 bottles of 2-liter hydrogen water. If you use hydrogen for treatment or health purposes, inhaling hydrogen as a gas is the key.

How is inhaling Hydrogen beneficial to my body?

Hydrogen reverts overly produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body, and acts as an antioxidant in cell signaling system within molecular cells. Especially during chemotherapy, it acts as a strong anti-oxidant and manages chemotherapy side-effects, Parkinson’s, pneumonia, and balances the immune system.

Reference “From the study of terminal cancer patients" by Dr. Junji Akagi, medical treatment center in Tama, Japan”

Does hydrogen inhalation help with chronic fatigue?

In a study of “hydrogen and oxygen gas mixture inhalation on chronic fatigue and fatigue from high intensity exercise”, the study showed that Hydrogen and Oxygen gas mixture inhalation mitigates fatigue after one day from the inhalation. (Yamanshi University, Japan, General research center, from Dr. Koyama Katsuhiro’s study)

Can I wear clothes during the treatment?

We do not recommend the users to wear clothes while inside the PBM chamber during the therapy because the lights cannot penetrate through the clothes. For privacy, you'll be alone to take your clothes off and lie down on the chamber. The handle is place inside the chamber for easy access.

How many PBM sessions do I have to do to actually feel the difference?

You'll experience the difference just after your first 20-min session. Your body temperature will rise 2 degrees Celcius. You'll feel more pain on your painful areas after the first session; however, these pains will be immensely reduced in just 2-3 following sessions. Just a 20-min session allow your body to restore bioenergy and blood circulation.

What is the mechanism behind the PBM therapy?

Until now, many researches’ collective conclusion is that low level visible rays such as red color, ,and near-infrared ray is absorbed by mitochondria which results in a more enhanced activation of ATP synthesis for cellular use. This process is followed by gene transcription and produced balanced ROS that induces cellular repair and cure. Important part of this process is to pierce through the blocked chain of neurons using nitric oxide (NO), and nitric oxide is released and returns to the system. Nitric oxide is a molecule that helps the transport and communicating of 60 trillion cells through signals. Also, it expands vessels and enhances circulation. Pathway • NO (Nitric Oxide) • ROS (Reactive Oxygen Series) → PKD (gene) → IkB (suppressor κB) + NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) → NF-κB (nuclear factor or κB stimulates gene transcription) • ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) → cAMP (catabolite activator protein) → Jun/Fos (carcinogenic transcription factor) → AP-1 (activated protein transcription stimulates gene transcription) NO: (Nitric Oxide, •NO; nitrogen oxide or nitrogen monoxide)is a colorless gas, and is a a form of compound with oxidized nitrogen. Fundamentally nitric oxide includes free radical, a chemical form of an unpaired electron (the dot indicates the unpaired electron in •NO). Nitric oxide is also a heteronuclear diatomic molecule, and is a critical molecule that has led the modern theory of atomic linkage. It is formed from an amino acid, Arginine, from the cell. As a signaling substance, it is involved in various physiological processes such as vessel expansion and signaling. (source: encyclopedia of molecular cell biology) ROS: Reactive oxygen species: common reactive oxygen species includes hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide ion (O2 -), singlet oxygen: (1O2), and hydroxyl radical (•OH). Active oxygen normally functions as a disinfectant by attacking the pathogenic bacterium. However, for some reason, imbalance (too much) active oxygen will lead to attacking normal cells such as hydroxyl radical. ROS that increases by a certain spectrum of light source is known to have the ability to execute gene transcription as a protective response of oxidative stress, such as 2 signalling pathways that is activated upon pathogen invasion. In essence, for this reason, ROS produced through light irradiation acts as an antioxidant.

How frequently should I do PBM therapy?

We recommend our clients to come frequently for the first month, then they can come one or twice a week after that. Since we are consistently exposed to stress, our body consistently need healing and restoring aid. Regular use of PBM therapy will restore your body to help you maintain your health and beauty. For personal PBM therapy at home, we recommend 30-min to 1-hr daily treatment for sore muscles and pains with our Abdomen and/or breast PBM irradiators.
