Where can I register for WUHCA soccer?
Kindersoccer and U5 co-ed registration requires valid WUHCA membership and pay soccer fees via CommuniBee. You do not need to register in RAMP.
U7/U9 soccer players – will have two registration steps.
- First, you will need to register for a WUHCA Membership and pay soccer fees via CommuniBee.
- Second, you have to register your child in RAMP (RAMP Registration Link).
- YOU MUST COMPLETE THIS STEP. This is to ensure they are put on a roster and have insurance through Saskatchewan Soccer.
What if my child's year of birth is 2014 or earlier?
Your child should be enrolled in Youth Soccer though our zone (Aurora Soccer). See www.aurorasoccer.ca and www.saskatoonyouthsoccer.ca.
My child is small/inexperienced, can they play down a level?
No, unfortunately this is not permitted by Saskatoon Youth Soccer. Note that SYSI considers U5-U9 to be non-competitive. Scores are not kept during games
Can I register for the U7/U9 Developmental league through WUHCA?
Registration for the developmental league is through Aurora zone soccer. Youth soccer players can only belong to one team during a season, a player can only register on one team through Aurora OR WUHCA. No refunds will be issued from WUHCA for those registering in both leagues.
Will U7 and U9 be co-ed or separate boys/girls teams?
This is dependent on the number of players registered. Some players may be transferred to another community team to create teams.
What equipment do players need?
Running shoes and comfortable clothes are fine for playing and practicing. Shin guards are strongly recommended for U5-U9. If shin guards are worn, they must be covered by soccer socks in order to prevent injury to other players. Most older players wear soccer cleats. Team shirts and soccer balls are provided.
Can I Coach?
Yes! We are always in need of coaches. Unfortunately, if we do not have enough coaches, we will be unable to create teams and many disappointed kids. Your money will be refunded if there is not a coach for your child’s team.
What training do I need to Coach ?
The below lists the Coach Certification Requirements. Requirements must be met prior to the first game.
Any unregistered team personnel (those found on the team bench or on the game sheet) may be fined $100 each.
Coaching staff: Shall be defined as those individuals in the positions of head coach, assistant coach or apprentice/developmental coach and will typically include all individuals providing technical and tactical guidance to players during game situations.

RAMP Registration: Every coach, assistant coach, manager, and volunteer parent or volunteer participating in any on field activities with the team must be registered and insured through SSA.

To ensure you are registered you must be listed on a roster submitted by your team or your Zone Registrar. The Saskatchewan Soccer Association hereby requires that all coaching staff on the bench be age appropriately certified as listed above.
Where can I get the training for the above?
