Griesbach Minor Soccer

Griesbach has a thriving minor soccer program, operating as a member of the Edmonton Minor Soccer Association. We are fielding a growing number of teams in all age categories, from ages three to 19. The program is 100% volunteer run, and administered by Griesbach Community League.

If you have any questions, please email: sports@griesbachcommunity.com 

Registration Fees

The registration fee is determined annually conjunction with our partners in neighbouring communities within Castle Downs. Tournaments are not included in the above noted fees.  Any tournaments the teams wish to enter into, are at the sole discretion of the team.Fees include, registration, community season end wrap up party, pictures and socks.
Griesbach is proud to participate in the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program to ensure all kids have a sporting change to participate in sport.

Age Breakdown

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO REGISTER YOUR CHILD ACCORDING TO THEIR YEAR OF BIRTH, NOT HOW OLD THEY ARE AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION!!

For fees and age breakdowns for the current season please visit the Registration Page.

Practices

Practices at the U8-U18 levels are solely at the discretion of the coaches.  This means that you will play a game twice a week plus at least one practice whether it is before a game or on a separate day of the week, whatever the coach chooses.U10 and up there are 3 rounds, with 5 games in each round, whereby teams are tiered after each round, with the opportunity to qualify for City Championships, Inter-Cities and Provincials.

Coaches and Volunteers Wanted

Our program would not be possible without the selfless contribution of our volunteers coaches, managers and assistants. Many people are afraid of the word “coach” but here’s the thing, if you can carry a bag of balls and some equipment and stand on the sidelines and encourage the kids to run in the right direction, pass the ball, shoot on the net and not use their hands, YOU WILL BE A GREAT COACH!!  It is a very rewarding experience and we encourage you to come forward and help out with your child’s team.  One question we get all the time is, “Will I be coaching my own child’s team?”  ABSOLUTELY!  We do not separate coaches from the children, so come on out and have some fun!

For the safety of our children, all coaches and volunteers require security screening.
