Outdoor U11-U18 Recreational

Winnipeg Phoenix FC follows and maintains the Canada Soccer club licensing requirements under the Standards of Quality Soccer (SQS) and includes area community clubs wishing to offer youth soccer programs in the North East area of the City of Winnipeg, to participate under the Phoenix SQS license. Our goal is to create a consistent program across the entire district, including fees, and improve the overall quality of the soccer programs.

Please review all information. The link to register is at the bottom of the page 

If your child is U8-10, Born 2015 to 2018 see our Grassroots programs  Grassroots Soccer

Players in the U11 (born in 2015) - U18 (born in 2008) age groups looking to register for outdoor soccer will do so via the Central Registration Portal. 

After registration, the teams will be created. Teams are usually a combination of players from several clubs playing out of a host club. Your child MAY be placed on a team hosted by any of the clubs in the district. There is always a possibility that to form teams, players of different ages may be combined and the nights of play can be subject to change. We do our best to avoid doing so, but it is a possibility. 

A team representative will contact you approximately two weeks before the start of the season, which is usually at the beginning of May (weather dependent). If a team representative hasn’t contacted you by April 21st, please get in touch with Phoenix FC by e-mailing  Rec@Phoenixsoccer.ca

Fees for the 2026 season will be as follows:

U11-U12         $240.00 plus a 54.05 MSA fee 

U13-U18           $260.00 plus a 54.05 MSA fee 

The MSA is adding a credit card processing fee to the MSA fee.

The Recreational Soccer Program relies on volunteer coaches to provide the opportunity for your child to participate in the program. Without these coaches there is no program. Not only will you be contributing to your child's development, you will be supporting the community too. Be part of this rewarding experience! If you are willing to volunteer to coach please complete the appropriate section on your child's registration with the necessary information or contact Phoenix FC by e-mailing  Rec@Phoenixsoccer.ca

• Completion of only the online theoretical portion of the appropriate Canada Soccer Grassroots coaching course for the age/stage they are coaching
