LATE REGISTRATION: After February 4, fees are increased by $15 per player as outlined above. There is no guarantee that your child will be placed on a team if you register after February 4th. Shortly after that, the numbers of teams for the 5 area programs are declared so schedules can be made and fields booked. After February 4th, registrations will only be accepted if there is room on a team for that age group. If the age group is full, they will be placed on a waiting list.

The Kelowna Youth Soccer Association is a non-profit society. Fees pay for uniforms, socks, equipment, referees, land use, player and coach development and team photos.

Staple a cheque or money order to your registration form. Cheques must be made payable to Kelowna Youth Soccer Association (or simply, KYSA). Registration forms without payment will not be processed. Please do not send or leave cash. This year all players in a family may register on one form. Post dated checks to March 1, 2008, are acceptable.

Registration must be received by February 4, 2008. All children who register by February 4 will be be placed on a team. In person registration for new players will be held at Parkinson Rec. Center Sunday, January 27th from 12:00pm-4:00pm.

A copy of your child's birth certificate must be provided with registration if not already provided in previous year’s registration with Kelowna Youth Soccer Association.

Additional registration forms are available at Eurosport after January 15th or can be printed from this site or photocopied. New players can also sign up at the registration session mentioned above on Sunday, January 27th at the Parkinson Rec. Center..

Teams and schedules are organized according to age group. Coaches are recruited for teams. Individual coaches will contact players by the beginning of April to let them know when their first practice will be. Games and practices begin in mid April, depending on field conditions.

Mini soccer games are generally held on Saturdays with practices one night a week. Divisional games are held on Saturdays and on weeknights.

Most coaches and assistant coaches are parents who have an interest in soccer. All are volunteers. Coaches must complete a criminal record check and are offered a variety of coaching certification courses to improve their coaching skills. If you are interested in coaching, please indicate at the bottom of the registration form and complete the enclosed application form. Coaching a youth team can be a very rewarding experience.

A team parent can do many things to assist the coach. Duties may include making up a team phone list, circulating an orange list, distributing and collecting team uniforms and photos, planning any team social events, etc.

Mini soccer (U6-U10) is a scaled down version of soccer. The field and ball are smaller, and the rules are designed to promote skill development, fitness and co-operation. There are between 3-8 players per team on the field at one time instead of the usual 11, giving everyone a chance to participate.

Divisional soccer (U11-U18 years) is a recreational level of soccer in which all clubs interlock with each other. U11 and U12 play 8-a-side soccer. Scores are recorded and standings are kept. Tiering is introduced in the form of a number of divisions per agegroup to allow each player to play in the league best suited to his or her ability.

Premier soccer (U12-U18 years) is designed to provide the more talented soccer players within COYSA the opportunity to play at the highest youth level. This level of soccer requires a larger committment of time & money and is currently known as the "Kelowna United" program. More Information>

Go to the games and cheer your child and his or her team on. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities for parents who are willing to help out. Please note on the registration form your interest in being involved in KYSA.
