Timbits Mini Soccer

Mini Soccer Registration Now Closed – Waitlist Open

Thank you for your interest in our Mini Soccer program!  Registration is now closed, and our waitlist is officially open.

Spots will be prioritized for families if a parent/guardian is willing to step up as a coach. If you’re open to coaching, please indicate this when joining the waitlist — your involvement will make all the difference for getting more (and your) kids on the field!

We appreciate your support and understanding.

Access to the registration system is available by clicking “Register Now” at the bottom of this page.

Program

The Mini Soccer program is designed to introduce youth to soccer fundamentals and team sports. The focus is to foster a fun and inclusive environment where children can develop basic movement skills through play and positive reinforcement. Children will be part of Tim Horton’s sponsored soccer program in which Tim Horton’s provides a soccer jersey (needs to be returned at the end of the season), a ball, and a medallion to each player. Parents/Guardians are actively involved at this level, remaining at the field for the duration of the session. We encourage parents to be involved through coaching or assistant coaching.

Schedule and Fees

The season runs from the end of April through June weather permitting.  The season consists of 2 sessions (1 session for U3/4) each week on a soccer field in the Whyte Ridge Community.

Format

Mini Soccer is designed to meet children where they are at developmentally. Our playing format reflects our goal of creating a fun program that maximizes the time each child spends touching the ball. For more information on our rules and guidelines for play please see our Mini Soccer Rules page.

Coaching

Our mini soccer program rely on our dedicated coaches and volunteers. We aim to ensure all our programs maintain an ideal player-to-coach ratio to ensure a high-quality program and a positive experience for all participants and coaches.  We provide our coaches with online training and resources so they can foster an inclusive, positive, and fun environment for the youth of our communities. No experience is necessary, and we will walk alongside you in proving the tools to be successful as a coach.  If you are interested in learning more about coaching, please reach indicate on your registration form or reach out to the mini-soccer director. Thank you to all our coaches and volunteers!
