Registration has finished at the pool for this season!
Late Registration will be done on the soccer field starting Wednesday May 22nd at 6:30 pm.
Registration at the Ruben Yli-Juuti Centre Municipal Pool has finished for the season. A period of late registration will take place on the soccer field during the first few nights of soccer. All of our U5 and U9 teams are filling up fast. We DO NOT expect this period of late registration to last long.
The registration fee is $65 per player - same as last season. Click on our Registration section for more detailed information. Our 2019 Registation form can be veiwed and downloaded from that page.
Please consider being a coach. We can't run soccer without them. We have two U9 teams looking for a coach. After the wrap up on July 10th you will have the rest of the Summer to spend with just your kids.
First day of soccer – Wednesday May 22nd – Meet the coaches and uniform pickup.
When is soccer?
Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm for players aged 3 to 9 years old.
Players aged 10 and older will be on the field from 7:30 pm to 8:30 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.
Uniform Return
U9 Division – All jerseys used by U9 teams must be returned. ELMSA has had difficulty finding sponsors to buy the jerseys used by this division and needs to use them for several seasons. If we need to keep replacing jerseys our registration fee will have to increase. Please return your jersey to help keep soccer costs low. Jerseys can be returned at the field on the last day, or at the Ruben Yli-Juuti Centre Municipal pool during normal pool hours.
U5 Division - Tim Horton’s have been a very generous sponsor to ELMSA for many seasons. They have supplied the entire U5 division with jerseys, shorts, socks, and soccer balls. They have also asked us to allow the players to keep their uniform and ball.
New this season
This season we are continuing with the changes made last year.
Our U5 division (players aged 3 to 5 years old) will be sorted onto one of four teams. These teams will then follow a modified version of Ontario Soccer's Grassroots Active Start program. Each practice will have the players rotating through two of four workstations and then playing a game of soccer. The workstations will have players doing fun games and activities that will teach them the skills they need to succeed in soccer.
Our U9 division (players 6 to 9 years old) will also be sorted into four teams and will follow Ontario Soccer's Grassroots FUNdamentals program. They will also rotate through two of four workstations and play a soccer game. Both the workstations and game will take place on the soccer field they are assigned to that night. We will not be asking parents and players to switch between fields.
We have big changes planned this season for our players aged 10 years old and older.
We are hoping enough players join that we can divide them into three or four teams that would play locally against each other. No travel required for our regular season. Players would do drills that will follow Ontario Soccer's Grassroots Learn to Train program and then play a game.
Over the past few years we have tried to build a league across the communities in our area to play soccer. We will hold a meeting during the soccer season to see if there is any interest in creating a team that will travel through the summer to play in nearby communities for game days and occasional tournaments.
Where we play
Soccer is held on the fields next to the Elliot Lake Secondary School.
Teams practice on Mondays and Wednesdays. The U5 and U9 players are on the field from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm. The older players and Traveling Teams practice from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
We are hoping to start Wednesday May 23rd. Soccer will run till the wrap up on Wednesday July 10th. Traveling Teams will run longer - until shortly after the first week of August.
