Please remember to bring water and sunscreen.
Porta potties are in place for our use. Thanks to GFL for the delivery earlier this afternoon.
Our July 5th Invitational Tournament was run!
We would like to thank all the players, parents, coaches, referees, spectators, and volunteers for coming out on Saturday. This event was a long time in planning. Last minute challenges with scheduling, access to toilets, and the very warm weather had executive members scrambling for solutions. Seeing the event run and smiles on the faces of many participants made it all worth while.
The U8 players dwindled down to two teams over the day due to the heat and humidity. The final two teams played to a draw. The U11 final saw the Green team come out on top. Thanks to all those players who hung out till the end.
Special thanks to the teams of older players who travelled from Blind River, Espanola, and Manitoulin Island to join us. Both finals in the oldest division ended with tie games, overtime and then shootouts. A very exciting finish to both games. Congratulations to first place Espanola and second place Manitoulin Island. Congratulations also goes to consolation game winner Blind River and Elliot Lake who improved much over the day. After years of promising our U14 players we would find them other teams to play, it was nice to see their smiling faces as the promises became reality.
Thanks also to Ms T's for the face-painting and Full Circle Event co. for the food and drinks service.
A very big "Thank You!" to the folks at Ray's Enterprises for making the drive to Elliot Lake to deliver the portable toilets and wash stations on short notice. We are out of their normal area of service.
Thanks to Steve Antunes with the City of Elliot Lake for passing along the contact number for Ray's Enterprises along with some other options. The temporary closure of the Ruben Yli-Juuti center was an unexpected surprise. Working together with the city staff we were able to get a solution in place that allowed the tournament to run.
Late Registration will finish on Wednesday.

We NEED more 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. Send an email to info@elliotlakeminorsoccer.ca or use the Contact Us section of this website to let us know if you would be willing to volunteer this season.
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 send an email to info@elliotlakeminorsoccer.ca or 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.
U5 and U8 teams play from 6 pm to 7 pm.
U 11 and U15 teams play from 7 pm 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!
