2014/2015 Indoor Soccer Registration – August 28 or September 3

There are two dates available – Thursday, August 28 and Wednesday September 3.  Regardless of your home community, all registration is done at our Strathcona Centre Community League Hall, 10139 87 Avenue, 6:30 – 9:30 pm. This is registration for the entire zone, so expect it to be quite busy, especially at the beginning of each evening.

There are a number of documents you need to have, and forms you need to complete.  The home-page for the South East Soccer Association outlines all of the requirements, at: http://www.southeastsoccer.ca

It useful to complete the forms at home first (4 copies), before heading to the Hall.  Be sure to have an updated Community League membership.

Bring several cheques – you will need 3 for one child (plus cash or extra cheques for the Community League membership if you don’t have one, plus money for a pass for each adult to enter the Soccer Centres). For each additional child, you will need one additional cheque (uniform deposit). 

About the Indoor Game

If you have not played Indoor Soccer before, it is different from the Outdoor game.  Teams play in what is essentially a hockey rink will a felt surface.  The boards are legal for use, adding a new dimension to passing and keeping the game fast and more free-flowing.  You play 5 players out plus a goalie, and line changes are every few minutes for the younger ages or on the fly for older ones (just as they are done in hockey). For U6/U8 you only use half the rink, for U10 and above you use the entire rink.

There is only one game per week, but the season is longer, running from the third week of October until mid-February.

  •  U6/U8 games are played in the mornings/early afternoon on Saturday at the South Soccer Centre (Roper Road)
  •  This season there may be a more competitive U8 team that would play at any of the Edmonton soccer centres (Three of them, South, West and North East)
  •  U10/U12 community teams play any time on Saturday at any of Edmonton soccer centers and Spruce Grove with the possibility of some travel to Sherwood Park, St Albert and/or Fort Saskatchewan
  •  U14 and up community teams play on Sundays at all the same potential locations as U10/U12
  •  Competitive teams can have their weekly games on weekdays (early evening)

Practices are typically weekday evenings at a gym in the SE zone, with a one-hour time slot.  We typically don’t know when/where our practice times are until the City confirms bookings for gyms, but they are usually fixed for the entire indoor season.

For older ages groups there are also optional tournaments hosted by various zones in the city that teams can enter through the year.

Because registration demands for Indoor is typically lower than outdoor, significant amalgamation occurs across communities. Most communities do not have enough players to form teams with only their players. Typically teams are assigned to communities based on having the most players and/or the coaches.

The website also has information on the more competitive Storm program (U12-U18). Dates for tryouts (between September 2-10) are shown on the website: http://www.southeastsoccer.ca
