Holyrood Soccer News

Holyrood Community League is excited to announce the formation of the Holyrood Soccer Coordinators Group who will oversee our community soccer program and ensure that soccer remains alive and well in our neighbourhood! A huge thanks to outgoing coordinators Katrina and Teara who did an outstanding job running the soccer program over the last couple of years. The new group consists of Gina (Volunteer/Budget Coordinator), Shea-Lynn (Referee Coordinator), Rick (Equipment and Facility Coordinator), and Jared (Communication/Team Coordinator). The group is currently in the process of formulating tasks and a timeline for the 2016/2017 Indoor and Outdoor Program. If anyone is interested in joining the Holyrood Soccer Coordinators Group and helping out with certain tasks over the upcoming year, please contact Jared at soccer@holyroodcommunity.org.

As much as we all love cheering our kids on in the rain (and sometimes snow), while swatting mosquitoes, did you know that you could also be watching them play soccer from the comforts of a climate controlled facility? Indoor soccer registration for the upcoming 2016/2017 season is currently underway and available online through the EMSA Soccer Portal (https://emsasoccerportal.com).

After having registered your child online, registration needs to be finalized by parents visiting one of the following in-person registration dates: Ottewell Hall 9520-93A Ave Sept 8 (6:30pm-8:30pm), or Bonnie Doon Mall 82nd Ave & 83rd St (by Tony Romas) Sept 17 (10am-2pm). Indoor soccer is a fun, relatively low time commitment fall/winter activity that allows players to further develop their soccer skills.

Teams are typically community based, with an option for amalgamating communities to obtain sufficient player numbers per team. For more information on the Edmonton Southeast Soccer indoor program, as well as upcoming Storm tryout dates program please visit http://emsasoutheast.com.
