Frequently Asked Questions

The questions below are some of the ones we hear most often. If you can’t find what you need, please call the office or send us an email.

How do I register?

Click the Registration button under the Youth Club Drop Down menu to access Foothills’ Member Zone. If you are new to the Foothills family you need to set up a family profile. You can then add your children and the programs available for registration for that child will show automatically for you to choose. Please note, you are not registered until you have completed payment.

Is there any financial assistance available to help cover the cost of my child's soccer?

Everyone should be afforded the opportunity to play! Those who require financial assistance may apply through Kidsport, a program funded by various sports associations to provide support in such cases; please contact the Foothills Office Manager for information.

Can I play with my friends?

We strive to accommodate all requests, however, not all are guaranteed. We are unable to move players to a higher-tiered team to satisfy requests to play with another player; however we can move players down a tier to meet this need.

When will evaluations be held?

For information regarding Youth Club tryouts, please click the “Evaluations button located under the Youth Club dropdown menu.

How do I know what team my child is on?

Once the tryout schedule is published, the pre-season rosters will also be available on our website. If your child’s name is not on a pre-season roster, please contact the office at admin@gofoothills.ca. Following this, coaches will contact players regarding further training and team information.

When does the season start?

Please refer to the “Program Details” page located under the Youth Club and Grassroots drop-down menus.

Is it possible to register after the deadline has passed?

If online registration has concluded, please contact the office at admin@gofoothills.ca and indicate the age group for which you wish to register. We will then assess availability. Registration is required in order to attend tryouts. 

How do I get a player card?

Players aged U11 and above must obtain a valid CMSA player card in order to participate. Refer to the Calgary Minor Soccer Association Website (www.calgaryminorsoccer.com) for dates and times to obtain your card. If a player has an existing player card from another club, it should be obtained from the previous coach at the end of the season and presented to the Foothills coach. Participation is not allowed without an appropriate player card. 

Do I need a waiver form?

An electronic waiver will be distributed via email to players assigned to a team for the upcoming indoor season and must be accepted as part of the registration process. This waiver is valid for the entire year and is the only form of waiver accepted by CMSA. No hard copies will be accepted and the waiver must be completed in order to be eligible to participate. 

Where do I log in to Member Zone? / What is the process for resetting my Member Zone password if I have forgotten it?

Click the registration button under the Youth Club or Grassroots Drop Down Menu to access Foothills Member Zone. 

Use the email address you used for your family member profile. If you forget your password, there is a link where you can have the password sent to the email address we have on file for you. 

What is the procedure for updating my contact information or address?

You can update your contact information or address by logging into your Member Zone account.

Do I have to play in my community?

No, you can choose any program you choose that works best for your family.

Where can I find the game schedules?

CMSA league game schedules can be found on the Calgary Minor Soccer Association Website (www.calgaryminorsoccer.com). 

What does my child need in order to play?

For players aged U4-U8, soccer cleats are required for outdoor play and indoor soccer shoes for the indoor season. Runners may also be utilized for either season, along with shin pads and a water bottle. For these age groups, the team will provide a jersey, socks, and shorts that they may keep. At the Foothills facility, cleats are recommended for training. For U10 -U18, new shorts and socks will be supplied each outdoor season and a jersey that must be returned at the end of the season. Additionally, Tier 1-3 players will be provided with an academy jersey each outdoor season. 

What are the community fees?

As the official provider of youth soccer programs in the communities we serve, we are required to collect community fees from members. In order to protect members’ privacy, we cannot determine if a fee has already been paid. As such, we must still collect the fees. If you have already paid the fees, please notify your community association and they will process a refund for overpayment.
