What age groups travel and what age groups only play in St Marys?
U6 and under is always house league played only in town.
When it comes to U8, there is a choice between house league and travel which can be selected at registration. There are certain circumstances where we might need to move players to travel from house league but only if numbers dictate and approved by parents or guardians.
All age groups above U8 are travel teams.
Where in town does St Marys Storm play games?
Information on the fields that are used is available here.
What does tier 3, tier 2 and tier 1 mean?
St Marys Minor Soccer is growing with numbers and skill. With this growth it allows us to have additional groups in age groups. There are 3 tiers in our league. It starts with tier 3 which is the entry level and then moves up to tier 2 followed by tier 1. St Marys Minor Soccer will always be inclusive. Our philosophy is to have a tier 3 team minimum. After that, if numbers and skill allow we will have a higher tier team. For the higher tier teams, the choice will be made by player development committee based on skill evaluations, coach evaluations and observations.
What is the hot weather policy?
For the U3, U4, U6 and U8 House League divisions, soccer is cancelled if the temperature or humidex value is equivalent to or over 35 degrees Celsius.
When is soccer season?
Soccer season typically begins in mid-late May (depending on the weather and the conditions of the fields). House league runs until the end of July and travel teams typically play into August.
When will I find out the schedule for the season?
St Marys and Area Minor Soccer endeavours to keep the field schedule consistent year over year. The ability to do so depends on registration numbers and the number of teams in each age division. The house league schedule is expected to remain the same for 2025. The field schedule is available here which includes practices for 2024 but should be used a reference guide only and is subject to change for the 2025 season. Away game schedule is dependent on EMDSL and the rosters submitted by other centers in the league. The full schedule for travel teams is not available until all centers have submitted rosters in the spring of 2025.

St Marys Minor Soccer has seen a increase of growth year over year. Opening registration in the winter doesn’t give us adequate time to order equipment, submit rosters to Ontario Soccer and host potential tryouts.

Age divisions will be decided in the near future but they will not be presented before registration closes. Many factors such as registration numbers dictate the best interest of our athletes as well as league recommendations.
Why are there 2 options for U8?
You have the choice to do another year of house league or you can choose to be on a more competitive travel loop.
What happens if my child decides after registration closes that they want to play soccer?
Late registrations will only be accepted on team availability. A late fee will be applied.
Will friend requests be accepted?
