Registration opens February 3, 2025
Come play community soccer this Spring in Queen Alexandra.
Outdoor soccer is an affordable fun way for your child to meet other
children in your community. Outdoor Soccer begins the 1st week of May
(weather permitting) and ends late June, except for teams proceeding
to post season play (U11-U19) who may play into the second or third
weeks of July. Please keep this in mind so you don't leave your team
during cities/playoffs!
Please see above for age group/birth years for registration and tentative playing days
Fees for 2025
U5 - $105, playtime Saturday mornings in field at George S Hughes Arena
U7 - $115,
U9 - $210
U11 - $210
U13 - $260
U15/U17/U19 - $285
$20 late fee (get your registration done in FEB)
$50 Decline to Volunteer Fee - I don't expect anyone to decline to volunteer - please just help out in some way when you're actually at the games/practices! You can sign up for the SWEMSA or QACL casino, that counts too (depending on the year). Monitor your own commitment please, because many hands makes the year smoother.
Outdoor Soccer Registration starts February 3rd and ends February
28th. Registration must be done on the SWEMSA website
(emsasouthwest.com). Create a family portal and get yourself
registered as a coach if you are willing and able! This guarantees
more teams for kids because we cannot form teams without coaches.
Payment is done online via Credit Card or via Funding (Kids Sport or Jump Start)
Of course we will need the following for every team:
Coach (cannot make a team without a head coach)
Assistant Coach (up to 2)
Team Manager
Equipment Assistant (picks up gear from QACL on behalf of coach)
Coach/Player Appreciation (coordinate with Coach to see if they've done something in the past)
Referee Liaison (you wear the yellow tag and are the only parent allowed to speak with the referee, this can change game to game)
Field Inspector (walk the field before games to make sure it's clear)
General (set up take down nets, cones, flags, bring a little snack to share after the game, take the team/ individual photos to share on Team Snap, write updates for the community league on tournament performances or overall season performance)
Let your coach know if you're a first aider - this is always an asset

-All teams will be scheduled by Southeast Soccer (Swemsa) or Edmonton Soccer (EMSA) play for a minimum of 2 games per week. A minimum of 2 - 4 hours per week. They make their very best attempt to schedule rainouts from U9+
-It's up to the coaches to coordinate practice times (typically an extended warm up before the game, or a regular weekend hour)
-Your registration confirmation email will work as proof of registration for Jump Start or KidSport
-All athletes are required to have
--shin guards (a must)
--socks (to cover)
--runners or soccer cleats (they helps on the wet days). Running shoes work fine for U5-U7 Soccer cleats can be worn for baseball but baseball cleats should not be worn for soccer. Totem sportswear sells previously loved soccer cleats starting about March.
SWEMSA is a volunteer run program for players in the U4 – U19 age levels participating in community & Club soccer. We appreciate the hundreds of volunteer Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Team Managers & community volunteers who make our program a success!
We are fortunate to have many parents, siblings, community volunteers & University students coach our players. No experience is necessary! There are many resources & courses for our new Coaches that will teach you the game of soccer which enable you to provide our players with the necessary skills.
All Team Officials must follow the SWEMSA Coaches Code of Conduct.
SWEMSA recognizes the cultural diversity of our community, and everyone must show respect and inclusion.
All Team Officials must take the course Respect in Sports for Activity Leaders.
Coaching courses are available through the Alberta Soccer Association (ASA) & through EMSA. Please check with your community Soccer Coordinator for cost reimbursement. Check out our Training Sessions tab for all the details.
All Coaches, Assistant Coaches & Team Managers must register as a Team Official in the EMSA Soccer Portal. This is done by accessing your household account.
All Coaches & Assistant Coaches for U4-U19 age levels require a volunteer Police Information Check (PIC) certificate to cover the entire season, including post season play. The certificate must be requested through SWEMSA, we cannot accept any from outside organizations.
Team Managers for U4-U19 age levels also require a PIC certificate.
Only Coaches, Assistant Coaches & Team Managers that have a valid PIC certificate on record with SWEMSA will be added to the team roster & may participate during practices and/or games.

Our community soccer program is completely run by parent volunteers,
so I invite all families to pitch in and help make the upcoming
whirlwind season amazing! We can only have teams if we have coaches,
so please reach out if you think you are interested in coaching. It is
very rewarding. There are countless other ways to help as well,
including managing a team, organizing equipment, and helping out at the season wrap-up party.
