Important Information:
We will need to cap the number of teams this year due to field availability, with that No Member Club shall enter more than 2 teams in any one division. Any additional teams entered after the cap has been reached will be waitlisted and only allowed if space permits additional entries
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 U14 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 are 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 on October 18th. The League will finish late March to mid-April 2027. For teams travelling from distance to play, the League will attempt to provide two games every other Sunday to reduce winter travel.
How To Register
Registration is now open for the 2026/27 season. Game schedules are expected to be live on the website by October 10th.
All registrations must be made using the excel team form also available on the website. Due to the number of teams, handwritten applications are no longer accepted.
Excel format registrations should be emailed to admin@emdsl.ca. Fees can be e-transferred to payment@emdsl.ca or dropped off at the BMO Centre, 295 Rectory Street, London, N5Z 0A3 by the respective deadline.
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.
For the EMDSL 2026/27 Indoor Soccer season the following fees will be payable to the match official before the start of each game by each team:
U8/U9: $15.00 per team
U10/U11: $20.00 per team
