THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING SPRUCE GROVE SAINTS SOCCER!

Prospective premier soccer players need to attend tryouts. Please contact clubgirls@saintsfc.ca or clubboys@saintsfc.ca for more information.

Community players will attend player placements to help place them on teams suited for their abilities. In-house programs do NOT attend evaluations. We aim to foster skill development and camaraderie among teammates, which we believe is best achieved when each player has an equal opportunity to contribute to the team.

September 15th, 2025 – Registration closes. All players signing up after this date will be waitlisted. Players who haven’t paid or made arrangements for payment will be waitlisted as well.

All players are required to be registered in the system in order to participate.  You must register under the community where you live. You can ask for a transfer – this is done on Step #2 of the registration process.

VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT

SGSA is a volunteer-run organization, parent volunteers are required to make the program a success!

Each FAMILY will be required to pay a $150 volunteer fee deposit or decline to volunteer fee. This is a one-time fee per family. It will be added to your registration fee upon registering your player. No need to worry! – once your volunteer commitment is fulfilled, you will be reimbursed the full $TBA.

We have many volunteer opportunities throughout the year. These shifts are four hours long.

If you are interested in volunteering as a Coach, Assistant Coach, or Team Manager on your child’s team, register that player first, then choose the appropriate volunteer role and complete a Team Official registration for yourself. If you are interested in volunteering on more than one team, you need to complete additional Team Official registrations. Please complete all sections of the Team Official registration and add as much detail on age level & gender, player requests, who you’d like to volunteer with, etc.  

All team officials need to complete a criminal record check. If you choose to be a team official after the start of the season, you will need to register as a team official and create a criminal record check. You cannot assist teams in a team official capacity if you do not follow these steps. Helping out a team is not recognized as a team official and will not count as your volunteer commitment.

Helpful hint:  In order for the registration to be completed, you have to scroll through the whole waiver and mark off at least one method of communication.

NECESSARY KIT

All players will need shin pads, a water bottle, and shoes.

Players will need indoor running shoes, or indoor soccer shoes or turf soccer shoes for indoor soccer.

Green Campea shorts and socks are required for both community and premier players. They can be purchased at the SGSA office. Timbit and adult players do not need to purchase shorts and socks.

U4 to U19 community players are given a jersey to keep. These will be handed out to all players by the coach at the start of the season.

U9 to 19 premier players will be required to pay a deposit to receive a green sublimated jersey and a white sublimated jersey. Both jerseys must be returned at the end of the season. If jerseys are not returned or if they are returned damaged or stained, players will not receive their full jersey deposit.

All programs are based on player numbers, if there are not enough players to offer a particular program then an alternate will be offered.
