Please note Registration for the 2019 Golden Minor Soccer Season is now closed.

We are in the process of making teams and will get in touch with all parents once we have completed this process.

WE NEED COACHES!!!! If you have time, please reach out to us. As you can imagine – no coaches, no soccer. Please let me (Stef) or Navneet know if you can coach – we need coaches and second coaches still for most if not all age groups.

Thanks so much.
Stef
