Inter-Community House League – U8-U18 (Recreational program)

REGISTRATION IS WILL OPEN FEBRUARY 1 2012.

The ICHL recreational league is intended to provide a community based program for U8-U16/18, with the added spice of inter-community rivalry. The ICHL/Recreational component of the Calgary West Soccer Club is a continuation of each community’s house league for those players that do not want to move up to the competitive program. We coordinate the league for all players in the U10 to U18 age categories. Most, if not all, U10 games are played within your current community or a surrounding community (Arbour Lake, Bowness, Citadel, Hawkwood, Ranchlands, Silver Springs, Scenic Acres, Tuscany or Valley Ridge). Due to the number of players that continue to play declining at the higher age groups, we are also part of a NW community group which allows us to play against more communities. This group does require some travel to other NW communities to play your games. The one nice thing about being a part of Calgary West is that our communities provide a large number of the teams and many games are played within our communities. As we form the teams at all age groups, we do take into consideration requests to play with certain players as well as which community you come from to help alleviate the problem of driving.

CWSC will be offering a Super U8 ICHL division intended to provide that extra level of competition for U8 players that have grown out of the regular U8 house league format. This program is intended for U8 players that have played soccer before, either a number of years in the Outdoor U6-8 house league program, or the U8 indoor CMSA league with CWSC. These U8 teams will play on U10 fields in a 7v7 format with referees and will play 1 game (Saturdays) and have 1 practice (Wednesdays) a week.

For the upcoming season, all of the boys’ games/practices will be held on Tues/Thurs, as will the U16/U18 mixed teams. All of the girls’ games/practices will be held on Mon/Wed. For the U10 age group we are planning on having one game and one practice per week. If we form our own U12 league similar to the U10 league we will have one game and one practice per week. However the ICHL League has decided that two games per week will be the format. There may or may not be referees assigned to your games. In the CWSC communities there should be ref’s assigned on Mondays and Thursdays.

All U10 and U12 games and/or practices will begin at 6:15 and run until 7:20. All U14 and U16+ games and/or practices will begin at 7:30 and run until 8:45. Depending on your coach you may be required to get there 15 to 30 minutes before the start to have a warm-up.
