Soccer
Soccer is a deeply rooted and widely celebrated sport in Burin — much like throughout the entire Burin Peninsula. The region boasts a proud tradition of passionate play and intense rivalries, particularly during the storied Challenge Cup competitions between neighbouring towns.
At the heart of local soccer activity is the Burin Soccer Field in Salt Pond, a regulation-size facility complete with home and visitor dressing rooms, showers, and washrooms. The field features bleacher seating for fans, and the Burin Minor Soccer Association operates a popular canteen during games and events.
This well-used field serves both the intermediate league and hosts a range of minor soccer tournaments each year. For the youngest players, including under-9s, the field features smaller nets and a flexible layout that allows multiple games to run simultaneously, creating a fun, inclusive environment focused on development and enjoyment.
In addition, Pearce Junior High School maintains a regulation-size soccer field that supports school athletics and is actively used by the Minor Soccer Association during the summer months, ensuring year-round access to the sport for all ages.
From grassroots programs to competitive league play, soccer in Burin continues to thrive as a cornerstone of community life.
Softball
Softball is a very popular sport in Burin. In the past men’s, ladies, and co-ed leagues as well as a minor softball program flourished under the town. We have had a rich history of our teams participating in both local and out-of-town tournaments.
Burin has one softball field: located in Central Park ,The Craig Lundrigan Memorial Field in Salmonier is regulation size and last year hosted many slow pitch softball tournaments. The field is home to the Burin Minor Softball Program. It is also used by the local co-ed league and is accessible to others for general softball use. The field is equipped with a softball clubhouse with washroom facilities, male and female as well as one that is wheelchair accessible. There is an indoor eating area complete with cooking facilities. There are dugouts for the players and a grandstand for spectators.
