Outdoor Registration
2025 Outdoor Season for U4-U19 (2021-2006)
Registration is open from February 3 – 28, 2025. All registrations are done online at emsasoccerportal.com.
Incomplete/not paid/registrations after February 28 are considered late registrations and will be placed on a waitlist.
The tentative start date is May 1, 2025 (each age group plays on a different day of the week and weather permitting). The regular season runs from May through to the end of June.
Dates of play are tentative and subject to change. This is an outdoor program; therefore, weather conditions and field availability play a significant role in soccer. The days listed below are tentative, and games may be moved to another day of the week.

New players to the EMSA program: once you have registered on www.emsasoccerportal.com (instructions below), you must verify your date of birth; please click here.
Teams are typically formed based on your child’s birth year. However, EMSA West allows you to make special requests on your registration form, such as playing up an age group. Please know that while we will do what we can to grant requests, there are no guarantees of meeting player placement requests. Click here to read the full policy.
Community Soccer coordinators try their best to place your child on a team in your community; however, it is not always possible. They will try to find a spot in a community within the west zone. You will be contacted if there are no spots within the west zone.
Note: If you do not see your community when registering, your child will be placed in the closest hosting community.
