Community Memberships
All registrants must hold a community membership with one of our partner communities (Arbour Lake, Bowness, Citadel, Hawkwood, Ranchlands, Rocky Ridge, Royal Oak, Scenic Acres, Silver Springs or Tuscany), or purchase a CWSC membership if you live elsewhere.
- Existing memberships must be valid to at least March 31, 2009, or they will need to be renewed now.
- You may purchase a new Community membership or renew your existing one during the registration process (we will forward the funds to the community on your behalf), or you can purchase it directly from the community.
- Information on expiry dates and how to buy community memberships is available on our website under "Community Membership" - click here to go directly to that page.
- Please ensure you know the status of your community membership before proceeding with registration
- CWSC will continue to work with communities to support your community association
Volunteer System - for competitive soccer only
- CWSC is a volunteer based organization which needs volunteer support to help run operations in order to keep fees down.
- We recognize that families have different needs, and therefore use a volunteer system which provides flexibility and choice for parents to volunteer as much as they like, or not at all. Those who choose not to volunteer pay a non-volunteer fee, while others can choose from a selection of tasks to reduce or eliminate that additional fee. Most families that want to volunteer prefer to see the fruits of their work most directly, at the team level, while others have talents in other areas that can best be utilized in non-team related jobs.
- The Club also wants to recognize that a very few volunteers commit an extraordinary amount of time to their teams and the club and that this extra effort should be rewarded.
-
Parents will thus be able to choose from 2 options:
- No volunteer role taken - a $100 Volunteer fee must be submitted along with registration. This is a family fee (not per child).
- Volunteering role/s taken - If parents choose this option, they are expected to volunteer at the team level and/or club level. When registering, you will prompted to enter your volunteer preference(s). Each position in the dropdown list has a description associated with it, as well as the number of points you will receive for doing that job (50 points = $50, 100 points = $100). While we cannot guarantee you will be required for the job you select, we will endeavour to find you something else should you not be required in that capacity. Registrants must send in two $50 volunteer deposit cheques per family. If a parent fulfills a team level task, one $50 cheque will be shredded and one will be cashed. If a parent fulfills team level tasks for 2 teams (have 2 children enrolled in our programs), both $50 cheques will be shredded. If a parent selects a club level task, depending on the points accorded that job, either both $50 cheques will be shredded, or one will be cashed. Again, volunteer commitments are per family, not per child.
- Team managers will be asked to submit their list of those taking on volunteer roles for the team, to ensure all parents/families that fulfill their team level tasks will be credited for $50 or $100, as appropriate.
- We will be also be tracking club level tasks and giving families the $50 or $100 credit, as appropriate for the task.
- Any monies received from volunteer deposits will be put towards worthy club initiatives including subsidizing fees for the following season, equipment purchases, club wear for coaches, and also put towards an indoor facility in the future.

Not sure which to choose?
If your child is new to soccer, or if you are looking for a program that runs once a week at the same time and same place (Calgary West Soccer Centre), but still includes practices and games, Play and Train might be for your child. The focus of the Play and Train program is a FUNdevelopmental program.
If your child enjoys playing soccer and is ready to take it to the next level, CMSA development/competitive soccer may be the way to go. Typically there is one practice and one game per week. Games are generally on one of two set days each week, with varying start times (days still to be advised). U8s and U10s are classified as developmental, and the primary focus is on learning the sport, and practicing the skills in games against other teams. U8s play at the Calgary West Soccer Centre or Eastside Soccer Centre, while other age groups play at the Calgary West Soccer Centre or the South Soccer Dome. There is also a volunteer commitment to this program, as outlined above.
In the end, it likely comes down to the interest expressed by your child, and the commitment that you as a family are able to make.
