Update: June 11th, 2025
Last night for on-field registration tonight
On-field registration will take place tonight, Wednesday June 11th, from 6pm to 7pm in the ELSS upper parking lot. The upper parking lot is near the field the U5 players use. The ELSS lower parking lot is the one shared with the entrance to the pool.
Registration at the municipal pool (behind ELSS) is now closed. We have a winner of our Summer Camp draw, Andrew Sanders, who plays in our oldest group.
Players will be sorted onto teams the evening of Thursday June 12th.
An email will go out to parents and guardians before the weekend to let them know what teams their players are on. Coaches will also be called to let them know what team they have.
We are still accepting registration forms and E-Transfer payments through our email address. Please see our registration form for details. Remember to hand in a completed registration form for each player being registered. Please include the names of all players you are paying for when sending an E-Transfer payment.
We NEED Coaches! Especially for our U5 and U11 teams!
We can't run soccer without our volunteer coaches. Please consider being a coach or assistant, they are an important part of our soccer season. We plan for at least two coaches per team. Sharing the responsibility helps make sure someone is always there for the players. We know that it is difficult to commit to being there every soccer night. Please be one of the people who step up to help make this run for our kids. Use the checkboxes on the registration form or the Contact Us section of this website to let us know if you would be willing to volunteer this season. You can also send an email to info@elliotlakeminorsoccer.ca.

Can my 2-turning-3 year old play soccer?
ELMSA recognizes that kids develop at their own pace, and a month or two can make a difference for when they reach various milestones. We rely on the fact that parents and guardians know their two-turning-three year old better than we do.
If your child can listen to a coach and follow instructions, chase and kick a ball, and would enjoy belonging to a team; then consider signing them up.
There is a wide range of ability in our U5 division. Some players actively chase the ball and want to score a goal. Others are happy to run around the field with friends not too sure what they should be doing. There are others who are more interested in the flowers and bugs on the field. Be happy with whatever your kid does, knowing that they will continue to learn and grow over time, and will improve over the years.
Uniforms
U5 Division
Tim Horton’s continues to be a very generous sponsor to ELMSA. They supply the entire U5 division with jerseys, shorts, socks, and soccer balls. They have also asked us to allow the players to keep their uniform as they plan to supply us again each year with new uniforms and balls. Please remember to thank Erin Brunelle, Nancy Wyman, and their staff the next time you are in our local Tim Horton’s.
U8, U11 and U14 Divisions
We have a new jersey sponsorship program starting this 2025 season! Our U8, U11, and U14 teams will now be able to keep their jerseys at the end of this season thanks to the local businesses participating in this program. If you are a local business interested in sponsoring one of our teams next season, please use the Contact Us section of this website and someone will contact you with more information.
Where we play
Soccer is held on the fields next to the Elliot Lake Secondary School.
It runs on Mondays and Wednesdays during the season usually starting in late May and ending in early July.
The younger players will be on the field from 6 to 7pm. The older players practice from 7 to 8 pm.
What do players need to participate?
All players will need soccer shoes, shin guards, and comfortable shorts for running.
A team jersey will be provided by your player’s coach on the first night.
We also have a bin of donated shoes for players who have had trouble finding soccer shoes.
Please feel free to donate any equipment your players have outgrown.
A note about parking at ELSS
The school board is asking that we not park on the grass at ELSS. Parking and driving on the grass wrecks the property and costs money to repair. Our Fees will increase and our permit for use of the field may be revoked if this continues. Please park only in the spaces provided for that purpose.
Thank you!
