General Program Information:

  
U8 Boys teams and U8 Girls teams play 5 v 5 with an unofficial sweeper keeper.
Teams play games on mini sized fields.  Each team needs a minimum of 1 volunteer coach and 1 volunteer timekeeper
Time slots are 60 minutes long and include 15 minutes of fun warm up games followed by 2 x 20 minute soccer halves.
Parents not volunteering will be able to enjoy the games from the sidelines.
 
Volunteer Coaches are always needed at this level 
It's fun and rewarding, and a great way to get involved!  A pre-season meeting with hands-on training will be held where you will receive a manual and information on how to set up and run drills and fun games for the whole season.  SASA also provides in-house support from our Head Coach and an end of season rebate certificate which can be used towards future registrations. 
 
A Criminal Records Check is required for all coaches
Please pick up your volunteer letter of introduction for the RCMP or EPS when you sign up at registration. 


Coach Certification Courses

Once again this season, SASA will be offering LTPD Coach Courses specific to various ages and skill levels. These 4 courses are hands on, interesting, highly recommended and require prior registration.  As a volunteer for SASA, we will cover the cost of your registration, however a refundable deposit will be taken to ensure attendance. Register early to ensure a spot - space is limited.  marjo@stalbertsoccer.com
