Registration

Outdoor Soccer registration for 2010 will take place at McLeod Hall (14715 – 59 Street) as follows:

• Saturday, February 27 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon – U4 to U10 (Birth years 2006 to 2000)
• Saturday, February 27 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. – U12 to U18 (Birth Years (1999 to 1992)
• Friday, March 5 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (all age groups)

The fees for 2010 are below. We are very happy to say that fees for 2010 are lower than they were for 2009, and they will be comparable to other communities in Area 17. The fees are lower due to reduced equipment purchase costs and some new sponsors for jerseys. Fees may be paid by Interac (debit), Visa, or Mastercard. Personal cheques are not accepted.

Uniforms

Any reduction in fees will be short-lived if uniforms aren't returned on a timely basis. If we have to purchase replacement uniforms, the cost has to be recouped and that means higher fees for everybody, or a uniform deposit. Please check your closets and return all uniforms to your coach or bring them to registration. U6 and U4 players (Timmy's and Little Tykes) get to keep their jerseys.

Player Cards

Players born from 1992 to 1995 will require player cards if they do not have them already. If you do have a player card because you played Xtreme or U16 or U18 in another community, please let us know as there is a charge of $20 by EMSA if you have lost your card or don’t know where it is and it has not expired. If you require a player card, we will take your picture at registration so please bring ID such as driver’s license, provincial ID card or birth certificate (School ID is not accepted).

A 2009/10 McLeod community league membership is required for all families ($25/family, $15/single), along with a volunteer commitment for each player registered. If you purchased a membership in September 2009 it is still valid. Everyone is also expected to fulfill one volunteer commitment per player with a deposit of $100 which is refunded once your commitment is fulfilled. If you have any questions, please email: soccer@mcleodcommunityleague.ca. We are also looking for someone to run the Little Tykes program. If you would be interested, please email us at the address above. Thank you and see you at registration!
