Sorry for the delay in responding as we are trying to get a look at how the indoor season will look
Responses have been slow in coming in

nb~ We will still be looking to continue with outdoor soccer 2024 next Spring
For the players that have answered that they are looking to continue playing through the winter then we will look at the numbers to see if we can commit to a weekly practice at BMO

Hi Team
https://www.emdsl.ca/emdsl-indoor-soccer-registration-due-sept-15/
Response to indoor season has been slow and we have a deadline 2 weeks away
We hope the players want to continue playing indoor and we need a committed to play through the winter
Same as before – please send an email confirming Indoor Season interest & commitment to play
I anticipate that our age group will be put into the U18 Division as the leagues are often combined to maintain team numbers in each division
Costs – we will break these down shortly and communicate all the fees
Usual Fees apply –
EMSA player registration fees
EMDSL Team registartion fees
Indoor Fees to cover BMO field rental ( Weekly Practice ) separate from the League Fees
NB~ Tier 1 Divisions are open to regional & Academies & Tier 2 is district only
We have played in tier 1 each indoor season last 2 years
5 vs 5 = $ 1500 per team
7 vs 7 = $ 2500 per team (last year’s format)
FALL & WINTER SOCCER INTEREST ?
HI Team
The Outdoor season EMDSL games have been completed
Thank you Coaches John, Derek & Paul for all your volunteer hours to coach & develop the players & manage the team
Thank you players for you efforts this season
Fall & Winter – Indoor Season
Fall practices will be scheduled soon to continue outdoor till September
Normally we have a weekly BMO practice & have entered the EMDSL Indoor League
Having had the season to gauge versus the other teams and determine what would be the best fit for Firebirds going forward
Firebirds playing in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Division would be likely the best fit
The aim is to keep kids playing soccer year round and the drop off rate for kids at high school is higher than any other age group
We sincerely hope the players want to continue playing
All teams are dependent on volunteers & the players to continue
Oakridge Soccer Club will likely offer a weekly time slot at BMO this fall & Winter
BMO Indoor league – registration due by 15th September

Please can you confirm your interest for BMO Practice & League
