Community Soccer – Outdoor 2026

Registration for the 2026 Outdoor Season is open February 5 to March 12, 2026 (11:59 pm).  All registrations completed now will be placed on a Waiting List.

All on time registrations within the city of Edmonton must get put on a team first before we can place any late registrations.  Therefore, late registrations are not guaranteed a spot on a team.

Players will be placed on a team AS space is available on a first come first served basis. 

Payment for players on the wait list will be required when we confirm a spot for your child.

To secure your spot, all steps must be completed and paid by the March 12 deadline. This includes:

  • EMSA Soccer Portal registration
  • TeamSnap registration
  • Full payment
  • Volunteer/Jersey Authorization Form

If any part of the registration is missing by the deadline—or if you register after March 12—your athlete will be placed on the waitlist.

Waitlisted players will only be contacted for payment if a spot becomes available after teams are formed.
