Registration is now open to Clubs interested in registering teams for the 2026 EMDSL outdoor soccer season. Clubs must be members of the EMSA District or have the appropriate play out and play in rights approved by their home District and by EMSA. All registrations are subject to the approval of the league and the district.
Please ensure you have read the registration instruction file below prior to registering.
Important Notes:
For Tier 3 teams U14 and above only, please register with the following year of birth:
U14/U15 aged teams use the 2011 year of birth.
U16/U17 aged teams use the 2009 year of birth.
U18 aged teams use the 2008 year of birth.
Tier 3 only offers U15/U17 double year cohort divisions for 2026 and single aged U18 if there are enough registered teams. Players do not have to be the same birth year but teams must register in the division that matches the oldest birth year player on the team.
For U8 and U9 teams, teams selecting Tier 3 will be grouped into the recreational pool and teams selecting Tier 1 or 2 will be grouped into the development pool. Separate Tiers will not be hosted at these age groups.
Handwritten applications are no longer being accepted. Only the completed excel format will be accepted. Please ensure your applications are returned in excel format. Other formats will not be accepted.
Team fees must be received by e-transfer, or by cheque or bank draft at the BMO Centre 295 Rectory Street, London ON, N5Z 0A3 address by the applicable registration deadline.
For 2026 E-transfer of funds is now accepted: payment@emdsl.ca auto deposit is in place so please include your club name in the notes section for any e-transfers sent.
Coach information is no longer required on the application forms. This information must be added later when you activate your team on the EMDSL website closer to the start of the season.
If there are any special requests or questions please contact the league administrator listed on the contacts page of the website. Note that the league cannot answer questions with respect to player eligibility. These should go first to your Club and then to the District. The League cannot override any decisions made by the District or Ontario Soccer.
Fees for 2026 are $300.00 for Tier 1 and Tier 2 teams, and $200.00 for Tier 3 teams.
