Outdoor Registration

2025 Outdoor Season for U4-U19 (2021-2006)

Registration is open from Feb 3 – Mar 9, 2025. All registrations are done online at emsasoccerportal.com.

Incomplete/unpaid registrations after March 9 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.

Hosting Communities

2025 Outdoor Fees and other information for each respective community are below. Please ensure you click on the correct community, as some information varies.

Please note:

• The start date and days of play are tentative and are subject to change.
• U13 – U19 play citywide; travel will be required to communities in the Greater Edmonton area (St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Stony Plain, Spruce Grove).

General Information:

• Online registration only at emsasoccerportal.com.
• Team Rosters will be released to the Coaches towards the end of April.
• Schedules are set to be released tentatively on April 28.
• Further information, such as fees, will be updated in mid-January.

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.
