If this is the first introduction to North Shore soccer and you are lost as to what steps you need to take, here are a couple of pointers that can make the process a little bit easier:

How old is your child?

• U4-U7 corresponds to children under the age of 4 up to children under the age of 7.
• U8-U12 corresponds to children under the age 8 up to children under the age of 12.
• U13+ corresponds to any children 12 years and older.

Does your child want to play in a league or learn basic skills and development only?

• If your child is aged 3-6 and you are wanting to enroll them in a league go to the top navigation bar, under girls, your child will fall in the Mini's Category.
• If your child is aged 6-10 and you are wanting to enroll them in a league go to the top navigation bar, under girls, your child will fall in the Foundations Category.
• If your child is aged 11 or older they will be playing in a divisional league. Based on your child's skill level there are different teams that accommodate all types of players, some that are recreational and some that are highly competitive and require invitations to be a part of.
• If your child is only interested in their development and is 5 years or older, click on development center under development on the top navigation bar to view the different programs offered. Additionally, we offer camps throughout the year through different seasons.
