Registration is a two-step process:
Step 1 – Manitoba Soccer Association Member Registration $41
Please put “MSA – Lindenwoods Community Centre” as your organization on this registration

The Manitoba Soccer Association collects a fee for every youth (U9-U18) player in the Province on behalf of the CSA, MSA and Sport Manitoba. This fee must be paid to the MSA directly. This fee is only paid once for the 2022 calendar year.
Both steps must be completed for your child(ren) to be registered properly. The age group a child plays in is determined by their YEAR of birth, and not necessarily their current age.
No tryouts and no previous soccer experience necessary. Come out and have fun!
When you register, please indicate your willingness to serve as a Coach or Assistant Coach with your child's team. If you've coached before and plan to do so again, thank you! If you haven't coached before, we have workshops and resources available to help you get started and become a confident and capable coach. To learn more about coaching at your child's age level (e.g. requirements, commitment, etc.) please reach out to Peter Matteis at LWCC.youthsoccer@shaw.ca
If you have a special request, such as being placed on a team with a friend, please be sure to indicate this on your registration form. We cannot guarantee but will try to accommodate your requests.
Please read and follow the instructions provided on the registration site carefully.
The outdoor soccer season is expected to start May 1. After registration closes and we form teams, you will receive schedule information from your coach. Coaches may choose to schedule a team meeting and/or practices prior to the season start (weather and field conditions permitting).
If you have questions about the youth soccer program, please contact LWCC.youthsoccer@shaw.ca
Recreational Youth Soccer Program General Information (ages U9 - U18)
LWCC's Youth Soccer program is a recreational program provided by the Winnipeg Youth Soccer Association (WYSA) through the Winnipeg South End United Soccer (WSEU) Club. This program is coordinated with all the community centres in the WSEU district. The program focuses on physical activity, building soccer skills and having fun! There is an OUTDOOR PROGRAM for the months of May/June/September and INDOOR PROGRAM for the months of October - March.
Each team has a maximum roster size as dictated by WYSA. Please register early as players are given their place by the date and time stamp on the registration form. Players who register by the deadline are not turned away, but if the LWCC team is full, players will transfer to another team.
Teams are created in cooperation with the other community centres in the WYSA league. If we have too many players OR if we don't have enough players to make a team OR we do not have a volunteer coach for the team then players may be hosted by a neighbouring community club. Our goal is to ensure ALL kids get to play soccer. We do our best to keep all LWCC kids in the age group together, regardless of where the team is hosted.
Youth Outdoor Soccer Season
Youth Outdoor Soccer runs from late April to June, with U13+ continuing in September for playoffs.
Typical Game Days:
Odd ages (9, 11, 13, 15, 17) play on Tuesdays and Thursdays
Even ages (10, 12, 14, 16, 18) play Mondays and Wednesdays
Games are sometimes played on weekends (rare for younger teams). Coaches will schedule one practice during the week. HOME games are played in Kleysen Park behind Linden Woods Community Centre. AWAY games are played on fields in various locations in South-West Winnipeg. The team rosters, schedules, and game locations are generally available by April 15 (note: this could be delayed in 2021 due to the Government of Manitoba restrictions and Return to Play guidelines and protocols).
Youth Indoor Soccer Season
Registration for indoor soccer is typically September 1-15. The team rosters, schedule and game locations are typically available by October 1.
Youth Indoor soccer runs from October to mid-March and is played in indoor facilities throughout Winnipeg. Girls typically play on Saturdays and boys typically play on Sundays. There may be an occasional weeknight game. Coaches will schedule one practice throughout the week. Your practice day cannot be determined until registration closes as we schedule after teams are formed.
Registration Policies
Families must register with the community centre in the area they live in. Linden Ridge families are in the Whyte Ridge catchment. Transfers to and from other community centres in the WSEU district are accommodated whenever possible.
Players are assigned to teams based on the date and time stamp of registration. If a team is full, players may be transferred to a team hosted by a nearby community centre. We cannot guarantee which centre will be the host of your child’s team.
Full refunds, less an administration fee, are issued only until we form teams (around March 23). After March 23, there are no refunds as our fees are committed to MSA, WYSA and WSEU.
