After living through year after year of rainy weather for a good part of the year in North Vancouver, I have been thinking wouldn’t it be great if there were more indoor soccer places to go to (or indoor sports facilities in general that don’t require an expense fitness club membership).

I will be adding some resources here related to the sports as I find them.
