Game Gear: Players must wear their official game jerseys for matches.
Players will receive jerseys on loan for the season. A $100 jersey deposit  is required from players at the beginning of the season. At the end of the season, jerseys must be returned to the coach, washed and undamaged. 

*Note for Parents:  please remember to wash your child's jersey, shorts, and socks regularly. Shin pads can be washed and air-dried. Avoid using hot dryers, as they can damage jerseys.

          Safety Protocols:
*For safety reasons, players are not allowed to wear jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.) during practices or games. Taping jewelry is not allowed, as it does not prevent injury.
   
          Tryouts & Commitment: $20 tryout fee per season/player

  • Players will participate in tryouts to determine their tier placement and assess if they are the right fit for their designated team.
  • Players who wish to participate in Club Soccer must be committed to attending all practices, Academy sessions, camps, and games.

         ​​​​​​​Important Information:

  • Mandatory Attendance: All players must attend the tryouts in order to be considered for a club team.
  • Community Program Registration: If a player does not make the premier team and wishes to play on a Fort Saskatchewan Soccer community team, they must register for the community program during the official registration period.
  • Arrive Early: Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled tryout time to sign in.
  • Tryout Fee: There is a $20 fee  to participate in the tryout.
