Yearly Archives

With the revised restrictions in place we are now able to play games! The schedule is posted on the Fields and Schedules page and also linked below.

The 2021 Schedule is posted here (pdf)

Many fields and age groups have only two teams and therefore a standing game against the other teams. These are not shown on the schedule for simplicity. 

Starting immediately community soccer is paused for three weeks in compliance with the revised restrictions on outdoor sports. While these restrictions technically come into effect at 12:01am on Sunday May 9th we are being cautious and proactive to protect the health and safety of our community.

As per the announcement:

While I am optimistic and look forward to resuming soccer later this season, I also recognize that the situation is fluid and may change. I will send out additional updates as the situation evolves.

Thanks again to all of our amazing volunteers who put in extra time and effort so far this season, I really appreciate everything.

This year’s coaches clinics will be hosted April 17th online via Google Meet. Look for a email invitation with details

Hi Everyone, 

After yesterday’s announcement by the provincial government I’ve received a few questions by email. 

We are able to go ahead with the season and our start date of April 24 (weather permitting!) Soccer will look different than it has in the past, but I know that the kids will still have lots of fun. I hope that by May things will ease and we can get some games in. 

Key parts of the protocol are: 
– No games between different teams 
– No scrimmage games within teams 
– All players must remain 2m from each other 
– Maximum of 10 people (including players and coaches) on the field at one time. 

We are a recreational league focused on younger kids, and the main goals have always been to encourage youth to be outdoors, improve physical literacy, and have a chance to chance to be physically active with their peers. If you’ve ever watched U4 you know that they occasionally use a soccer ball too! While the conditions this year aren’t ideal I am confident that we can still have a fun, active season. 

You can find the full details on our COVID-19 protocols on the website here http://soccer.tuscanyca.org/covid-19/. 

Thanks,
Jamie 

Thank you to all of the parents who stepped up this year to volunteer coach. Registration for the 2021 community soccer season closed on Feb 28th.

Hi Tuscany Soccer families,

I hope this finds you well and managing life in this ‘new normal’! Planning is underway for the Spring soccer season and we are hopeful that we can have a strong soccer season this year while managing the ongoing risks of COVID-19.

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 13^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 Sunday, February 14^th and will close on February 28^th.

We are hopeful that we will be able to have a largely normal looking season this year, more on that below. If we have to cancel the season again, you will receive a full refund minus the $5 to $7 processing fees that we are charged by credit card companies. Our season will run from April 24^th until June 26^th.

2021 Programs Offered

Your registration fees include a jersey, shorts, 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 socks and shoes. For the younger kids- runners are great, no need to purchase soccer cleats.

Key Dates for this year

Feb 1 – 13: Coach Sign Up 

Feb 14 – Feb 29: General Sign Up 

April 24: Season start 

June 26: Season Ends

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 1st. 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!

RESPONSIBLE RETURN TO SOCCER

Like you, we are excited to return to soccer and the game we love. However, each of us must begin our return to play thoughtfully. The soccer community has the responsibility to protect ourselves and our participants from Covid-19 by promoting the practice of good hygiene, physical distancing and monitoring for symptoms throughout our programming and activities.

Our COIVID-19 protocols will always be based on up-to-date information from Alberta Health and in compliance with all advice and restrictions. Our program will be under continual review as guidelines change and will be updated depending upon current situation. We will be in touch just prior to the start of the season with protocols that will likely include physical distancing, monitoring player health with a symptom checklist, avoiding sharing equipment, water bottles, etc.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing and rapidly developing situation. We encourage our membership to monitor publicly available information and to always follow federal, provincial and local health organization guidance and government mandates.

I am looking forward to a fun soccer season!
