The final score is 1-0 for COVID19 vs 2020 Soccer

You may have heard that The City of Calgary has recently cancelled all playing field permits through June 30^th. This means that we will need to cancel our 2020 community soccer program.  
 
Thank you to everyone that volunteered to coach or manage a team, to help with equipment, or in one of the many other roles. I know that we were all very much looking forward to getting out, enjoying some Spring weather, spending time with friends and neighbours, and most of all letting the kids run off some energy.
 
We are working with our registration and third-party payment processor and will be able to automatically refund your soccer registration (minus the processing costs) to the credit card that was used when you registered. It will likely be end of of next week before we can process these, and then another 7-10 days for the refund to show up on your statements. I greatly appreciate your patience and understanding while we process 900+ refunds.
 
You may remember that you also paid a $25 TCA when you signed up. This fee helps cover administrative costs and as well as support other community initiatives and programming that the Community Association provides including the Harvest Festival, Youth Council, Community Garden, and more.
 
The CA is volunteer run non-profit society and the loss of soccer revenue this year will be challenging for us; being able to retain the membership fees would help substantially. We know that many families in Tuscany are also going through challenging times so if you would like a refund of your $25 membership (less processing fees) please let me know.
 
We are disappointed and frustrated that the kids will not have a chance to play community soccer this year, and we also recognize that this move by the City is necessary to protect the health and safety of all Calgarians.
 
Thanks again for your patience and understanding, I hope to see you for the 2021 season.
 
Thanks,
Jamie

Registration is now open for the families of anyone who is signing up as coach or assistant coach. (You may register all children at this time, not just the ones that you are coaching.) The number of children that can play depends solely on the number of volunteer coaches that sign up. If you’re planning to coach or assistant coach this year, please register early so that we know how many player spots to open up. 

General registration opens on February 15^th.

Volunteer coaching is easy and rewarding! If you’ve never coached before you can attend a free coaching clinic, and we’ll provide you all with drills, games, and practice ideas to use with the kids. Most new coaches say that after the first couple of practices they felt great, more confident and were glad they tried it. Remember, as a recreational league we put the focus on fun and fitness, and not competition.
 
This year we have added a U10 Saturday only option. We are keeping the U10 M/W division also. And a U12 M/W division.
Why Coach?

• Coaching your children gives you more time to spend with them – on and off the field. You’ll have one more thing in common with your children and you’ll have a common goal.
• As their coach, you’ll have some control over the types of things they’re learning, how they’re being taught, and what they’re exposed to.
• Coaching is a good way to meet other people in your community and get involved. You’ll quickly get to know the parents of your child’s friends and you’ll feel more a part of the community.
• Coaching kids’ sports is a great way to get in shape or stay in shape. It’s good exercise and will help keep you active.
• Your child will love it. They may not say it or show it, but kids like to see their parents involved in what they do.
• You get a snazzy whistle and the kids will listen to every word you say.

The goal is to place two coaches with each team as well as provide coach training and practice schedules. This is a very rewarding volunteer position and the program cannot run without you.
