Hello soccer parents! 

We hope you and your children had a great 2010 soccer season!  We had a lot of fun putting it all together, but would love to hear from you.

Please provide feedback via our online surveys - answers are anonymous.  We request parents only submit one survey per registered child.  Coaches and Team Managers are also asked to submit responses.

The committee is also looking for help for the 2011 soccer season.  Please let Suzanne know if you would like to help in the organization side (sbwelsh@ucalgary.ca).

A red hoodie with silver print was found at the soccer field the last soccer game.  If you know who it belongs to, please contact Suzanen (sbwelsh@ucalgary.ca).

Have a great summer - hope to see you next year!


Fees & Costs
Fees associated with soccer are related to hard costs associated with running the program.  Last season we were break even when the bottle drive revenue was included.  Costs for soccer include field rentals, field marking, uniforms, photos, medals, coach development and appreciation, equipment (including nets, balls, whistles, and cones), web hosting/online payment service, porto-potty rental, and a contribution to the community BBQ.  Once committed to a certain number of fields and nights of play, we sign a contract with the City and the cost of field rentals is non-refundable, regardless of whether we play or not.  We based this year's fee schedule on last year's costs, and hope that we will break even.  Given that we do not know how many children will register, or in what division, we have to make our best guess. 
These costs are unrefundable and fixed, though we do try to minimize or reduce the costs and look for lower cost alternatives from year to year.  

Weather Cancellations
At times cancellations are unnecessary, as the weather does change quickly in Calgary.   While a team can decide to cancel prior to game time, we highly recommend that this decision be made at the field, just in case the weather turns around.  Also, for U4 teams, please note that Wednesday evenings are available from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. and can be used to make up missed Monday field time.  Since the U4 division only plays one night a week, the weather related cancellations have a greater impact.  Regardless of cancellations, refunds are not possible due to the fixed cost nature of our program

PLEASE NOTE:  DO NOT play or practice if there is lightening! Mini soccer teams should not play/practice in extremely cold or wet weather, or if the fields have pooled water or snow. Calgary Minor Soccer teams may have to play in any type of weather due to the complications of trying to reschedule a game. Always confirm with the opposing Coach before making a decision. Inform the parents that all games/practices are on unless they hear from the team manager.

 Valley Ridge Soccer Club has partnered with Calgary West Soccer Club to offer intercommunity house league competition!  This will give U8 to U18 players a chance to play against other NorthWest communities, including Tuscany, Bowness, Rocky Ridge/Royal Oak, Scenic Acres/Silver Springs and Ranchlands/Arbor Lake/Citadel.  Valley Ridge U8 and U10 players will still have the opportunity to play within Valley Ridge in a mixed inhouse division, or join the Calgary West Soccer Club for gender based team play.  Partnering with Calgary West Soccer also means the opportunity for competitive soccer within CWSC and at the CMSA and beyond.  Calgary West Soccer also provides coach and player development clinics.  Valley Ridge Community Association memberships are now accepted by Calgary West as part of this partnership.  Please visit the Calgary West Soccer Club for more information and registration at all levels of play.
