Indoor Soccer

The 2010 season has now concluded. Congratulations to all of our teams! Below is information for the previous season, for reference only:

Registration Dates and Times

Registration will take place at the McLeod Hall (14715 59 Street) on Monday, September 13th, 2010 and Thursday, September 16th, 2010 from 6-9pm each night. Please note that the registration dates have changed and these are the correct dates.

Age Categories and Fees

We are happy to announce that we have been able to lower our fees for the second year in a row!

Memberships, volunteer commitments, and player cards

You will require a community league membership to register, and memberships will be available for purchase at registration. The membership year runs from September to August, so any 2009/2010 memberships will expire at the end of August and you will need a new 2010/2011 membership. The membership fee is $25 family, $15 single. You are also required to fulfill a volunteer commitment per player to a maximum of two commitments per family. A $100 deposit per player (maximum $200) will be required at registration. Payment may be made by Interac (Debit), Visa, or Mastercard. Please remember no cheques.

All city-wide players (Xtreme) and U16/U18 (born 1993 to 1996) players must have player cards, which will be available at registration. Coaches for U16 and U18 must be carded as well. Please bring a Birth Certificate, AHC card (with full name), passport or Driver's license. Please bring the player with you so that we can take their picture - otherwise you will need to bring him/her to the South Soccer centre and potential line-ups for photos. If you have a current card and re-do your card, you will be charged $20 by EMSA.

Volunteer commitments available include:

• Registration and Equipment
• Polar Cup
• Sale of Water Park tickets
• Bingo Workers
• Waive commitment

Because uniforms continue to not be returned, we will be implementing a $75 uniform deposit for U10 and up. Last season one of our coaches found a McLeod boys jersey for sale at Value Village! Please don't donate uniforms to charity! Lost uniforms cost the community league money (we need to buy replacements) and cause your registration fees to go up! A $75 cheque will be required with all registrations post-dated for March 1, 2011. Your coach will return your cheque to you at the end of the season once your jersey has been turned in. If the jersey is not returned, your cheque will be cashed.

Please check your closets, corners, bags and under beds and return all uniforms to your coach or at registration. Please note that U6 players (Timmy's) keep their jerseys. Uniforms are for games only - not for practices, school, or shopping.

Refund Policy

• If trying out for a club team or if you are pulling your child please let us know as soon as possible by emailing soccer@mcleodcommunityleague.ca
• Community memberships are not refundable
• Registration fees will be refunded minus a $25 administrative fee if we are notified prior to the start of the season if your child has made a club team or is not playing. Refunds will be prorated up to and including November 15, 2010. No refunds will be provided after November 16, 2010.
• Once you have registered, you will be required to fulfill your volunteer commitment whether your child is playing for Club, McLeod or not playing at all, as registering your child means a position on a team is being held - no exceptions.

Tournaments and Pictures

Please note that we are no longer paying for tournaments. Teams wishing to enter tournaments need to pay for it themselves. Pictures are included in the registration fee.

Pads and Piercings

Shin pads are mandatory for everyone and socks must cover the shin pad. Players must have black socks and black shorts (socks, shin pads, and shorts are for sale at registration). No piercings are allowed and no taping of piercings.

Questions

If you have any questions, please contact soccer@mcleodcommunityleague.ca. Thanks and see you at registration. As in the past, you will receive a quicker response by email.

Baseball

Baseball Registration

Let’s Play Ball! The McLeod Community League Baseball Program for the 2012 Baseball Season will be taking player registrations at the McLeod Spring Sports Registration Days at the McLeod Community Hall. Please come down and register your child for the great sport of baseball.

The 2012 Baseball fees are as follows:

Please note that a $100 Baseball Uniform Deposit (cheque or cash) is required at the time of registration. Your deposit is returned to you at the end of the season when the uniform is returned to the coach.

Blastball, Rally Cap and Senior Rookie Teams play within the Northeast Zone while Mosquito and PeeWee teams compete with teams from across northeast Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Ardrossan and Fort Saskatchewan. Bantam and Midget teams play in the Baseball Alberta Rural and Recreational Baseball League. Players on Mosquito and lower category Teams also participate in two skill development clinics. All teams will play in at least one tournament.

The McLeod Community League Baseball Program is affiliated with the Northeast Zone Sports Council Baseball Program. As members of Baseball Alberta and Baseball Canada, our program follows the guidelines and standards set by those organizations and focuses on skills development, fair play and the enjoyment of the game of baseball. Coaches are NCCP qualified to the appropriate level and have completed the Respect in Sport module as mandated by Baseball Alberta.

Thank you to B. Briggs Trucking and Visser Greenhouses for their contributions to the 2010 McLeod Peewee Baseball Team.

Softball

McLeod Royals Softball

We are off to an exciting year in softball, fielding 16 teams, compared to an average of 10 - 11 teams in recent years. Thanks to all of the volunteers who organize this excellent group of kids, With all of the Community behind them, the teams can’t help but go out and have a fantastic, fun-filled year.

Here’s a big shout out to all the players, coaches, and parents. Let’s play ball!

We are always in need of more volunteers to help run the program, so if you can help out please let us know. All families must fulfill one volunteer commitment per player, and a refundable deposit is required at the time of registration.

Hockey

The McLeod Community League's hockey program is a part of the Northeast Zone Eagles Hockey Association. For more information about the program and registration dates, visit the Eagles website.

Basketball

We offer basketball for boys and girls age 9-16, and the season runs from September to March. No previous basketball experience is necessary! Typically teams practice once weekly, and have a season of 25 games. For more information, take a look at the Northeast Basketball web site.

Outdoor rinks

The skating rinks behind the McLeod Hall are open each year from December to March, depending on the weather. The hours vary from year to year, but generally the rink is open and supervised on weekday evenings and weekend afternoons. A concession is available in the heated rink shack attached to the rear of the hall, so you can get a snack or some hot chocolate to warm up on a cold day!

All members of our community are welcome to use the rinks. A league membership and skate tags are required for all participants, and these can be purchased from the rink caretaker if you don't already have them. For non-members or visitors to our community, a one-time admission can also be purchased from the rink caretaker.

The rink shack telephone number is (780) 473-8993, and the answering machine is updated periodically with updates on the rink status.

Free Swims

McLeod Community League members are entitled to free swims at following City of Edmonton facilities from September until June - just show your membership card to the cashier!

• Londonderry (14528 66 Street) - Sundays from 4:15pm to 5:45pm
• O'Leary (8804 132 Avenue) - Saturdays from 4pm to 6pm.

Other activities

From time to time we have times where our hall is not utilized and could accommodate an additional community sporting activity (martial arts, yoga, etc). If you are interested in partnering with the community league for such a program, please contact our president or programs director.
