General Information
There is no tier structure for indoor soccer. In any divisions where registration may support a tiering system the respective Clubs will be contacted prior to the schedules being released. Teams should be aware that there may be a sizeable difference in the competitive quality of teams registered. The League cannot guarantee that the level of competition will be equal within any one division. For U13 and older teams of higher competitive development the league suggests registering to a higher league age level where appropriate.
Divisions may be combined across age groups listed in the table above, if there is insufficient teams to create a single division. Clubs will be contacted ahead of the schedule being released if this is the case.
Indoor Schedules once released cannot be modified. Teams should be aware that they will have a game on most Sundays in season. The League expects to start the first Sunday after Thanksgiving Weekend. The League will finish late March to mod-April 2025. For teams travelling from distance to play, the League will attempt two provide two games every other Sunday to reduce winter travel.
How To Register
Registration is closed for the 2024/25 season. Game schedules are expected to be live on the website by October 1st.
All teams that wish to register must do so through their respective Clubs. For Clubs out of District, they should first contact their home District for play out approval prior to registering. The League cannot accept teams that are not registered through their Clubs. Fees for teams registered must also be sent to the EMDSL office at the BMO Centre, 295 Rectory Street, London, N5Z 0A3 ahead of the deadline to avoid late registration fees.
