Recreational Soccer for U4 to U12

Registration for the 2024 Tuscany Community Soccer season is now open!

https://tuscany.getcommunal.com

We are still in need of coaches for some several divisions. Always put your name on the waitlist if you do not get a spot and as we are able to add more coaches, you will receive an email to sign up. Just one volunteer coach can allow 10 to 12 a change to play! We provide free coach training through the amazing professional coaches at New Frontier Soccer Club as well as weekly training plans.

Planning is underway for the 2024 Tuscany Community Association (TCA) outdoor youth soccer season. Our recreational programs are offered for U4 through U10. Last year we were able to add a U12 division and will keep that around as long as there is interest.

Registration will be capped based on the number of coaches who volunteer. Online registration for the 2024 season begins February 1 for children whose parents wish to coach or assistant coach, and February 14 at 10a for everyone else. We have once again partnered with New Frontier Soccer Club. The amazing coaches at NFSC will run our coach clinic and will provide a week-by-week curriculum for our sessions. This is a huge asset to our league and will be a tremendous help to our volunteer coaches!

Look for signs in the community at the end of January regarding registration. Information can also be found on the website at soccer.tuscanyca.org. The season will run from April 20 to June 22.

Volunteers Needed

The TCA youth soccer program cannot run without the volunteers who help out each year. All families are required to either volunteer for a position or pay a $50 non-volunteer fee. A number of key positions are required prior to registration:

This year we are using a new system that should make registration and selecting your volunteer duties easier.

Reminders about registration: 

• You will need to purchase a TCA membership before the option to register for soccer becomes active.
• Once you select a volunteer duty you will see a volunteer discount of $50. We will have plenty of opportunities for volunteer for anyone who wants to – this is a volunteer driven league.
• Once you have selected at least one volunteer duty you will receive the discounted price for any additional players you register
• Please be sure to select the coaching duty that matches the team your player is playing on
  • Example: If you are signing your child up for U6 Saturday, the please select U6 Head Coach (or U6 Asst Coach) with dates showing for Saturdays

We have a new logo this year! After 20 years we decided it was time for a refresh and held a logo design contest last Summer. The winner, Ella Booth, played community soccer for many years when she was younger, and is currently one of our Tuscany Youth Council members. Check it out here!

2023 Soccer Season

Planning is underway for the 2023 Spring soccer season and we anticipate having a strong season this year with lots of interest already. A perk of a World Cup being held in December I suppose!

This year we are super excited to announce that we have partnered with New Frontier Soccer Club! The amazing coaches at NFSC will run our coach clinic and will provide a week-by-week curriculum for our sessions. This is a huge asset to our league and will be a tremendous help to our volunteer coaches! Feel free to stop by and watch a match if you see them out on the pitch. https://www.nfcalgarysoccer.com/

With that in mind, registration for families of coaches and assistant coaches will open on February 1! If you’re planning to coach this year, please register prior to the 14^th as we base the number of available player registrations on the number of coaches that we have sign. Registration for everyone else will open on Wednesday, February 15^th and will close on February 28^th.

Our season will run from April 22^nd until June 24^th.

2023 Programs Offered

Your registration fees include a jersey, a soccer ball for each child to keep, photos, and a medal at the end of the season. They also go to cover equipment costs, administrative fees, field permits, and coach training. Players will need to provide their own shin pads, socks and shoes. For the younger kids- runners are great, no need to purchase soccer cleats.

Key Dates for this year

Volunteers Needed!

As you know the TCA Soccer League is driven by the fantastic volunteers that Coach, assist, organize, schedule, and coordinate. If you’re a parent that’s interested in Coaching (there is no experience necessary!) please register when it opens on February 7^th. The number of kids that can play is limited by the number of coaches we have. Coaching is a fantastic way to spend time with your kids, stay in shape, and meet new people in the community; plus we’ll give you a snazzy new whistle!

Welcome to the TCA Soccer Program!

A big shout out to everyone who has volunteered to coach! Also thank you to everyone who has volunteered for the many other roles. Our program could not run without you!

Soccer balls and uniform kits have been ordered and we are excited for the season to start!

Key Dates:

April 23 – Season starts

May 14 – Photo day at the Tuscany Club. Specific times will be communicated at a later date.

June 25 – Season ends

Team & field assignments – You can expect to hear from your coach around the second week in April about your team and field placement. This may be an email or communication through the Team Snap App that we will use again this year for team communications, schedules, etc.

Uniforms:

Each child will receive a full uniform kit (jersey, shorts, and socks). Shin guards and non-slip athletic shoes are required. We do not recommend soccer cleats for the younger divisions. The uniforms are yours to keep and do not need to be returned at the end of the season. The registration fee also covers a soccer ball for each child to keep at the end of the season; and a medal.

Fields: Our teams play on 3 fields in the community.

Tuscany Meadows Dr – TMD (Next to the Community Garden, behind Tuscany School); Tuscany Way- TW (between Eric Harvey school and the new Fire Station construction); Tuscany Springs Blvd TSB (in Tuscarora near the LRT station).

Your child will be assigned to the one field, and will play on that field for the entire season.

Team Names – Your team name will tell you your age division; field designation; and jersey colour. For example:  U4 TMD Blue.

When you see this, you will know that your team plays on the Tuscany Meadows Dr field, and is the U4 team with the Blue jerseys

Weather Policy:

Given the nature of outdoor Spring soccer in Calgary, the weather can vary greatly from week to week.

In the event of inclement weather, the coaches will determine whether or not to cancel practice / games, and will notify you via email at least 1 hour prior to practice/game time. Soccer will be cancelled if there is lightning, heavy rain, snow on the field, or temperatures below 0C.

Wind or cool temperatures are not typically reasons for cancellation. On cool or windy days, players should dress appropriately – i.e sweat pants, long sleeve shirts, sweaters.

Team Snap:

Each team in the league will have access to the Team Snap app. I know that many of you have used this app before and it is a great tool for team communication. For those who are not familiar, it is an App that you can download to your phone or device for free. It allows the coach / manager to send out team communications, weather cancellations, RSVPs to games, etc.

Most all communication for our league is done through email, so please ensure that your email address is correct in our registration system!
