SOCCER (Youth & Mini) Programs
LWCC Youth Soccer Convenor: Tracey Wright at LWCC.youthsoccer@shaw.ca
Outdoor Youth Soccer Registration for 2021 opens Sunday February 28, 2021 and closes Friday, March 19, 2021. Mini Soccer will likely not take place in 2021. |
COVID Return to Participate Guidelines While the Government of Manitoba has permitted outdoor recreational facilities to re-open with certain restrictions in-place, the Manitoba Soccer Association has not yet given members the "green light" to resume sanctioned soccer activities in our Province. We are proceeding with registration as we normally would, so we can be well-prepared when we do receive clearance to play. We will keep you up-to-date on the latest developments as they're announced by the MSA. For more information about the MSA's COVID-19 guidelines and protocols, as well as its current Return to Participate status, please click here. |
The age group a child plays in is determined by their YEAR of birth, and not necessarily their current age.
Youth soccer cannot function without dedicated, enthusiastic and energetic volunteer coaches to foster a safe, inclusive, positive and fun environment for the children of our communities, and ensure they have an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
If you have coached before and plan to do so again, thank you! If you haven't coached before, we encourage you to consider doing so. 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 us at LWCC.youthsoccer@shaw.ca or WSEU Office at officemanager@wseu.ca
Please see below for details on Youth and Mini Soccer programs.
Youth Soccer (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 Club. This program is open to boys and girls ages 9 to 18 living in Linden Woods (or Linden Ridge*). 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 runs from late April to June, with ages 12 and older 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).
