Where can I register for WUHCA soccer?

How to register for soccer (7)
How to register for soccer (2 × 2 in)
  1. Register for a WUHCA Membership and pay for soccer fees via CommuniBee.
    Kindersoccer players do not complete registration in RAMP.
  2. Complete your child’s registration through RAMP. Please double check the division/sex you are registering the child for. YOU MUST COMPLETE THIS STEP to ensure your child is put on a roster and has insurance through Saskatchewan Soccer.

* Having all payments through one system keeps the cost of registration fees charged to WUHCA to a minimum.

What if my child's year of birth is 2013 or earlier?

If your child was born in 2013 or earlier, you will need to register for a zone team through Saskatoon Youth Soccer. Willowgrove and University Heights are in the Aurora Zone. See www.aurorasoccer.ca and www.saskatoonyouthsoccer.ca

My child is small/inexperienced, can they play down a level?​

No, this is not permitted by Saskatoon Youth Soccer Inc (SYSI). Note that SYSI considers U5-U9 to be non-competitive. Scores are not kept during the 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?

It depends on the number of players registered. Some players may be transferred to or from another community association to create full 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.

Interested in coaching?

We are always in need of coaches! Unfortunately, if we do not have enough coaches we will be unable to create teams and will have many disappointed kids. Refunds will be given if there is not a coach for your child’s team.

See Saskatoon Youth Soccer for coaching requirements. WUHCA reimburses coaches for certifications upon submission of a valid receipt. All coaches must have a criminal record check.  All 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).

I can't coach, how else can I help?

You can help with your team as manager or champion for cleaning equipment after practices and games. Another option is to consider signing up as soccer coordinator for next year. Contact anyone on the WUHCA executive if you are interested.

Is there an in-person registration night?

No, registration is only done online.

Do I need to buy a new membership?

You will need a current family WUHCA Memberships.  Memberships are valid from July 1st to June 30th. Memberships are purchased via CommuniBee at the time of registration. Your child cannot play without a valid membership. 

Registration has ended, can I still register?

After September 3, if there is room on a team you may be able to register by contacting the soccer coordinator. Acceptance is based on roster availability and subject to a $40 late fee.

Why is registration so early?

SYSI requires teams to be formed by mid-September.

Are spots limited?

For players registering within the registration dates, there are no limits to registrations. If we are unable to find enough volunteer coaches, the latest registered players will not be able to play and be refunded.

How can I pay for soccer?

WUHCA only accepts payment through CommuniBee using VISA, MasterCard and American Express.

Can I get a refund?

No refunds are issued after registration.

When will I get team information?

Your coach should email you by mkd-April. If you have not received an email by April 17, email the WUHCA soccer coordinator.

I still have questions, who should I contact?

How to Sign Up for Soccer
