Welcome to the 2026 Outdoor Soccer Season!
On behalf of the EMSA South Board and Staff

Dear EMSA South Families,

On behalf of the EMSA South Board of Directors and staff, welcome to the 2026 Outdoor Soccer Season!

At EMSA South, our mission is to promote, develop, and govern soccer programs across our member communities. We are dedicated to giving every child and youth in the EMSA South Zone the opportunity to experience the beautiful game in a fun, supportive, and inclusive environment. No matter their skill level, our focus is on helping each player reach their full potential while fostering teamwork, sportsmanship, and a love of the game.

Our Board continually strives to enhance our programs to ensure they are engaging and rewarding for players, coaches, and families. By improving efficiency, strengthening accountability, and refining our processes, we aim to deliver the best possible soccer experience for everyone involved.

EMSA South is powered by volunteers. While we do have a small number of paid positions, the success of our programs depends on the incredible dedication of community volunteers—coaches, team managers, and individuals supporting camps, tournaments, equipment, evaluations, and more. Collectively, these volunteers contribute more than 300,000 hours each year. Please take the time to thank them, and if you are able, consider volunteering yourself—your support truly makes a difference.

Should you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns throughout the season, we encourage you to reach out early. Open communication helps us provide timely and effective support. You may contact your community league representative or the EMSA South office directly at admin@emsasouth.com or 780‑469‑7344.

Wishing you a wonderful, rewarding, and fun-filled soccer season!

Warm regards,
Joe Herlein
President, EMSA South
