Good Afternoon,
We have received numerous questions in the past week as to the differences between our Metro League program and our House (or Club) League program as well as the end/start dates and scheduling of our current winter and summer programming. Please refer to the below information and attachments to help provide some background information on our programming as well as some key dates.
We kindly ask that you review the below and attached information in its entirety. Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask on our group Facebook page and/or send us an email.
Programming Calendar:
Spring/Summer start dates:
Spring/Summer Schedule:
Our summer programming schedule is still to be determined as we are currently finalizing additional field time with the Town of PCSP as well as confirmation of final registration numbers. However historically, programming has usually followed the below format/schedule and is ALWAYS subject to change given COVID 19, final number of registered players/age groups and field and time capacities. Typically - once registration closes a more defined schedule can be created. In recent years PCSPMSA has experienced such significant growth in its Metro and House Leagues (and throw COVID in the mix) that confirming consistent schedule year over year has been difficult.
House/Club League:
Metro League:
What is the difference between Metro League and House League?
This is a common (and relevant) question asked each year by new members. In October 2021 we hosted an online information session outlining the differences between the two leagues. Please click on the linked presentation below for the information presented.
In summary the key difference between the two programs is: COMMITMENT.
Should you require additional information and/or have further questions - please do not hesitate to contact either Ingo Eckoldt ingoeckoldt@gmail.com or Adam Nolan adamnolan.nl@gmail.com
Hello Spurrs!

Participant registration fees for the fall/winter session must be paid via credit card online or post-dated cheque prior to your child’s attendance.
Our fall/winter program is open to both metro and house league players who wish to further develop their individual technical abilities. Fall/Winter training is mandatory for players who intend to play metro for the first time when the outdoor season begins. For returning Metro League players, fall/winter training is strongly encouraged. Programming will be offered to the following age groups:

U9 Born 2013

Registration Steps:
Because of significant growth in registration numbers over last year, as well as ensuring adequate capacity levels due to COVID, we have expanded the venues and times for our indoor programming over the 2021/22 fall/winter season to ensure there is enough space and time for all ages to participate.

Training at these venues will start in early November. Although we anticipate similar scheduling as last year at the Techniplex for older age groups (U11/U13) we cannot confirm ages, times, and venues for of ages until registration numbers are better understood. We will communicate specific age groups and locations/times prior once registration numbers are finalized.
We still remain subject to COVID-19 restrictions and precautions. The Techniplex has provided its facility requirements for your review and familiarity (attached). Please ensure that you and your player review this documentment and become familiar with them.
As this is the start of a new session with the PCSP Minor Soccer Association, we require that all participants/players complete the Assumption of Risk and Declaration of Compliance waivers (also attached) prior to your child’s attendance. Please sign and submit these waivers to inquiries@pcspminorsoccer.ca on or before November 1, 2021
Assumption of Risk - Youth Players
Declaration of Compliance - COVID19
Techniplex Return to Play Guidelines
PLEASE NOTE: For safety and liability precautions - only registered players with completed Assumption of Risk and Declaration of Compliance waivers will be permitted on the field.
Once again - the PCSP Minor Soccer Association is extremely appreciative and thankful for the amazing support and understanding our Spurrs family has provided over the past year. We want to thank you in advance for your continued support as we start this new season.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the Executive and/or email us at inquiries@pcspminorsoccer.ca
