Mini Soccer 2020
Southdale Mini soccer
is a fun introduction to the sport of soccer for children who live in the
Southdale Community Centre catchment area (including Southdale, Island Lakes,
Royalwood, Sage Creek and Bonavista). Over 900 children are registered each
spring for Southdale Outdoor Mini Soccer so many volunteers are needed to help
coach all of our teams. All players, coaches and spectators are expected to
conduct themselves in a positive, respectful and appropriate manner.
The season will run
for 8 weeks from May 3 -June 28, with the following schedule and fees:
CO-ED TEAMS
* U3 (Born 2017)
Sundays 4:00-4:45pm $35
* U4 (Born 2016)
Sundays 3:00-3:45pm $35
*U5 (Born 2015) Tuesdays
and Thursdays 6:00-7:00pm $55
*U6 (Born 2014) Mondays
and Wednesdays 6:00-7:00pm $55
MALE & FEMALE
TEAMS
*U7 (Born 2013)
Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:00-8:00pm $80
*U8 (Born 2012)
Mondays and Wednesdays 7:00-8:00pm $80
* For U3 and U4
players, it is expected that a family member will be available to work/play
with the child for warm up/practice when called upon by the coaches.
The age brackets are
based on the birth year (January 1 to December 31) of the child only. Requests
for players to participate in different age groups will not be considered. Friend
requests for children in the same year will be considered but not
guaranteed. There is a maximum of
one friend request per player and it must be reciprocated.
At the conclusion of
the season, the annual Soccer Extravaganza will be held at Southdale Community
Centre on the weekend of June 27-28 (therefore these game times will not be
consistent with regular game times).
Southdale continues
to support the Long Term Development Program (LTPD) as outlined by the Manitoba
Soccer Association (MSA). The U5-U8 teams will continue to be smaller than
average, with fewer players on the field at a time (allowing more touches on
the ball).
All registrations
received in the registration period will be accepted. Registrations
received after the deadline will be accepted based on availability and be
subject to Southdale’s late fee policy - no exceptions.
Schedules will not be
available until closer to the season start. The only necessary equipment for
Mini Soccer is shin guards. Cleats are optional, but not required. Players will
receive jerseys at their first games.
