2026 outdoor Season
grassroots and Recreational Soccer Programs
U4-6 Tim Bits Micro Soccer Outdoor Registration will open in the spring
For players born in the years 2020-2022 (U4-6) there will be an in-house league at VGCC in May and June.
DETAILS PENDING
Registration is not yet open.
If you already have a RAMP account you will log in with that. If this is your first time using RAMP to register for an activity you will create an account. Your new account can be used for any sports league using RAMP (many leagues in the city now use it).
In-person registration support will be available on a date TBA at the office.
Late registration will be subject to a late fee and confirmation from our convener that we have space.
Payment of the MSA (Manitoba Soccer Association) fee is paid directly through the RAMP system and will require a credit card. This is not something we at VGCC have control over.
The program registration fee can be paid by credit card online (link in registration forms), or in person at the office.
Players will receive a coloured jersey to wear, to be returned. Players will need athletic shorts, tall socks, cleats (or running shoes), and shin pads. Cleats are often available second hand from Play It Again Sports as well as Once Upon A Child. New cleats and shin pads are commonly founds at Canadian Tire.
Our soccer convener will update families about team formation and expectations in mid-April. A reminder that team formation is often delayed by a lack of coaches. Please consider signing up to coach - you’ll have a lot of fun supporting this youth activity.
We thank Tim Hortons for their continued support of Micro-Soccer programs.
Micro-soccer players may be eligible for subsidized registration through the GCWCC - details provided by GCWCC regarding eligibility.
U7 Soccer 2026 - REGISTRATION not yet open - details pending
U8-10 Grassroots Soccer - registration not yet open
Details pending! Registration will be through Phoenix Soccer. Please see our January blog post for some more information.
U11-U18 Recreational soccer - outdoor - Registration pending
Registration for U11-U18 (born 2008-2016) rec soccer is through Phoenix Soccer.
The outdoor soccer season runs from May through June with U13-18 playoff in early July as coordinated by the Winnipeg Youth Soccer Association (WYSA).
From Phoenix website (2023):
At the conclusion of registration, teams will be created. Teams are usually a combination of players from a number of community clubs playing out of a host club. Your child MAY be placed on a team hosted by any of the clubs in the district. For example, even if you live in the Gateway catchment area, you could be assigned to a team out of Valley Gardens.
In some situations, Phoenix may not have enough players to field a team. In those situations, we will look to transfer the players to another community centre outside of the Phoenix district.
On rare occasions, players from different ages may be combined in order to form a team. We do our best to avoid doing this.
A team representative will contact you approximately two weeks prior to the start of the season.
Schedule Release Date: TBA by Winnipeg Youth Soccer Association
Financial assistance for U11-18 rec soccer is available through Sport Manitoba KidSport Link to an online form
