Youth Soccer - 2013 Youth Soccer Information

We are celebrating 10 years of Youth Soccer this summer! The program has enjoyed a large participation from the Hellenic Community and its friends and continues to expand. The 2013 program is outlined below. We hope you are able to participate and assist us in guiding the development of this program for our youth.

 2013 Outdoor Soccer Season Program Structure

Program is structured Early Development, House League and Competitive. The House League includes games with teams in the Ottawa Royals club. Competitive is a greater time commitment which requires travel to play other clubs across the city and practices. All outdoor programs begin after May long weekend and finish in August.

Please register early to avoid any disappointment. The Royals House League is on a first come basis and there is a waiting list.

OHAA teams will be formed based on registration numbers and some age groups may be joined to form a team or put together on a team in the Royals system. Parents will be notified by mid April of any changes.

You need to register early as there will be a cut of in March for House League. Every year there is a waiting list for House League and kids get turned away.

We will need coaches so please step forward to help out if you can. If we do not provide Hellenic coaches, the kids will be kept together but put on an Ottawa Royals team.

Registration - Competitive

If your child is born in 2004 or earlier, they are eligible to play at a Competitive level. At this level there are tryouts and a higher commitment (2 practices and a game a week).
