PLAYER REGISTRATION INFORMATION - RECREATIONAL SOCCER

Register Early 

Please note that due to the large number of children in the program, the Club's desire to keep the trainer-to-player ratio low, and League requirements, it is possible that a player may be placed on a wait list. This is especially true the later a child is registered for a program. The Club wants everyone to have the opportunity to play and will do everything possible to remove all players placed on a wait list.

Competition Development team practice sessions will be held after school starting mid-March. Specific times for each team will be announced by early March.
