In the spring of 1964 a group of boys in a Mountain neighbourhood were interested in playing soccer together. There were enough of them to form 2 teams. The teams played under the name "Linden Park". Cliff Marshall was one of the coaches. At the end of the first season the Hamilton & District Soccer association appointed Chairman of the "club".In the early years an exchange tournament with the Palatine Celtic Soccer Club was arranged. Palatine is a suburb of Chicago. The tournament gave the players of both clubs an opportunity to travel and to experience life in the community of the other team as the players were billeted with a family during their visit. This tournament carried on for 27 years. Player registrations increased with each passing year. Players came from across the Mountain. "Linden Park" was renamed as the Mount Hamilton Youth Soccer Club to reflect the geographical base of the club. Club colours and a club logo were adopted to identify the larger club. The logo has been updated as deemed necessary since then.Today Mount Hamilton has over 3000 players who are aged from four years of age and up. The Club also offers teams for Women 19 years of age and over. There are over 200 teams. Players may play either recreational (house league) soccer, where there is also an opportunity to play Select Soccer, or a more competitive (Rep) soccer. Players play in various age groups that are gender specific except in the youngest house league age divisions where boys and girls play on the same team. Most of the Club's players play recreational (or house league) soccer. Games are played on mini-fields up to (and including) the 10 & Under divisions. Players advance to full field soccer beginning with the 12 & Under divisions.
