Community Program placement is based on a first come/first served basis with team placement based on requests by the majority. When there is more than one Fort Saskatchewan team in a particular program there will be player assessments in order to equalize/balance teams' skill level at the beginning of the season.
Games schedules are determined by the league in which our teams are guest teams. League information is also subject to changes by the league in which our teams play.
At registration U14 players can indicate if they wish to tryout for a Tier 3 team playing in Edmonton (EMSA) Tier 3 League. Placement on Tier 3 teams is by tryout. Players interested in Tier 3 must register for community soccer and also for Tier 3 tryouts. Any player not present for tryouts or who doesn't make the Tier 3 cut will play community.
Additional fees and practices apply to Tier 3. Players in Tier 3 are expected to have a higher level of commitment than the Community programs. Players must attend one game and two practices per week.
Edmonton (EMSA) Community League
EMSA re-pools all teams twice during the season to ensure that competing teams are of a similar skill level.
Teams are then placed into tiers from 4 through 9. The third round of games also includes the ability for all teams to compete for a place in the Edmonton City Finals around the end of February in whatever tier the team happens to end up playing in.
Play in the EMSA Community League as a guest team.
Edmonton (EMSA) Tier 3 League
Tier 3 teams require greater commitment to games and practices than do the community teams. Tier 3 players will be expected to attend extra practices and all games. Tryouts, extra practices and extra fees apply to the Tier 3 Program. Tier 3 players/teams will have additional fees (for practices and league fees) which will be collected when the teams are finalized.
Youth Tier 3 teams will be offered if, during the registration process, there is enough player and coach interest for these programs.
There will be tryouts at the levels at which have sufficient registrations to offer Tier 3.
Fort Saskatchewan Soccer (FSS) is a not for profit, volunteer driven organization dedicated to providing all children & youth within the City of Fort Saskatchewan and surrounding areas, a quality soccer program. As one of two original member sports, of the Fort Saskatchewan Minor Sports Association, FSS has continuously strived to deliver both indoor and outdoor soccer activities.
FSS offers two platforms for both indoor and outdoor programs: The Arsenal Soccer Program for kids playing in the under 9 to 19 age levels (U9 to U19), and the Junior Arsenal Soccer Program for kids playing in the under 5 to 7 age levels (U5 to U9). All FSS participants are encouraged to have fun and support each other both on and off the field/pitch, regardless of any differences of experience in soccer and/or lifestyle or backgrounds as a whole.
It is the philosophy of FSS, to create an environment where participants learn skill development, sportsmanship, positive attitude and respect for themselves, other participants and officials. FSS endeavours to be an inclusive program, in which sportsmanship and fair play are promoted within the games and structured practice sessions, and where intolerance, bullying and discrimination or shaming of any sort is never acceptable.
