COMMUNITY PROGRAM
From the grassroots program to our developmental programs, EMSA SGSA follows the Canada Soccer and FIFA-endorsed Preferred Training Model for our athletes. This model uses the principles of Long Term Player Development. This plan is designed to give players an optimal soccer experience at every stage by putting their needs front and center.

However, due to holidays, tournaments, field availability, and time constraints games may be scheduled during other days of the week. Games can be scheduled as early as 6:00 pm during weekdays and 9:00 am on weekends. Games are played in Spruce Grove and the Edmonton area. Practices take place in Spruce Grove.
