Soccer Registration 2023

Soccer registration will open on February 1, 2023 using the EMSA soccer portal, supporting kids to learn and play this game from ages 4 to 18.

Greenfield community has a history of a large and successful soccer program with support from governing organizations SWEMSA (which supports community and club soccer programs), EMSA and ASA.

The kids are placed into teams in the SW zone of Edmonton based on age, community of residence, requested friends or coach, and lastly considering late registrations as able (late registrations are those completed after Feb 28, 2023).

Key points:

• Teams are created in coaches/assistant coaches home communities
• You must register for your child’s age based on year of birth, and home community. If you wish to play in a different community, request transfer to preferred community
• U7 & up are separated into male/female teams
• Kids playing U9 & up would be expected to travel to other communities in the SW; kids U13 &up play city-wide
• Fees cover training for coaches, equipment, uniforms, insurance, field maintenance, referee training and fees, team photos, and fees to SouthWest Edmonton Minor Soccer Association (SWEMSA), Edmonton Minor Soccer Association (EMSA) and Alberta Soccer Association (ASA).
• Practices are scheduled by the coaching team
• The season begins when the fields are opened by the city for play – usually the end of April/first week of May
• The season goes until the end of June, with city and provincial finals in July for older ages.

A volunteer role and deposit will be required. Last year this was overlooked due to the health restrictions. Each family must provide a $200 post-dated cheque deposit which covers volunteering and uniform. The deposit will be used as the default for either.

For registration to be completed and ready to place on teams the following must be included (please find required links at the GCL webpage):

1. Purchase of an EFCL membership
2. Online registration and signing of waivers in the EMSA portal
3. Submission of fees via credit card (preferred), EFT, or cheque. Instructions to do these are in the EMSA portal for Greenfield  
4. Submission of post-dated (to July 30, 2023) deposit cheque ($200) to GCL hall mail (3803 114 St) or email me below to arrange.
5. Submission of confirmation of your Greenfield address and new registrants also required to submit confirmation of date of birth. These can be email to here.

 
I have been seeking a replacement for me in this role for a year, but have agreed to continue at this time as no one has stepped forward. If you have interest in supporting our community soccer program, please let me know.
For any questions please reach out to Greenfield Community Coordinator primarily at the contact info below.
I look forward to seeing the kids playing soccer!
