U5-19 Soccer Registration Process
Prior to attending the registration on one of the three listed above dates, Parents or Guardians are required to do the following:
- Purchase a 2019/2020 Community League Membership ($25/household). Can either be purchased through the Griesbach Community League website, Communibee App or at the three registration sessions.
- Pre-register online at the EMSA north website. The portal opens after January 15, 2020.
- Log into existing or create a Soccer Account (one account per family NOT per player).
Once your account is created, fill out online registration form for the player. You have the option of paying online in the session or at one of the three registration sessions.
You must print one paper copy of the form and bring it to the in-person registrations dates. If you do not bring the printed forms, your registration will not be accepted and you will be asked to return with a complete package.
If requesting a transfer or to play on a certain team, please ensure the information is updated in the portal (community, coach and player request). Transfers are not guaranteed if that community team has no openings.
It is MANDATORY that you attend one of the three Griesbach Registration Dates listed above.
If you do not attend, your child will not be placed on a team, nor transferred.
You are required to bring a copy of the registrant’s birth certificate, Alberta Health Card or Passport to the registration session so it can be documented on the registration. These are not kept.
If the player is registered in Griesbach and there are not enough players to field a team, parents or guardians will be notified and a transfer to adjacent community in the north zone will be done by the sports director. The Griesbach fee will remain in effect.
Volunteer commitment
Select a volunteer commitment and provide a deposit cheque in the amount of $250.
In the notes section of the cheque make the note of “volunteer deposit” and the player’s name. Do not fill in the payable section. Be aware that volunteer commitments are a mandatory part of the sports program.
The commitment selection is first come basis. So, if you leave the registration to a later date, you may have fewer commitments to choose from. As well, if you have failed to provide a volunteer in the past or missed a commitment, a cash deposit may be requested.
At the registration session, you will receive a duplicate copy of your assigned commitments. If there are no commitments to be selected, your cheque and form will go in the To Be Determined (TBD).
Coaching
If you wish to volunteer as a coach or assistant coach, the $250 volunteer fee is waived and you will have to fill out the required forms. Please bring two photo copies of ID for the Police Security check. EPS requires the copies and will be destroyed at the EPS Security Clearance Center. Coaches must attend one of the mandatory coaching clinics if not attended previously. Clinics are paid by the community league.
