Maybe, please reach out to out administrator via the contact us page and give them your child's name, age and gender. Though rare, there may be teams with open spots looking for 1 or two additional players.

No, after team formation it is highly unlikely a player can join a team mid-season.

Tryout dates must be set during the Alberta Soccer Association approved tryout window. This determines their placement in the year.

If your returning child will miss tryouts but would like to be placed on a Sting team for Indoor 2025/26, please complete the following two steps:

1. Register for tryouts and pay the $20 fee. This ensures we have a formal record of your child’s intent to return. It also supports the administrative costs of team formation and EMSA roster creation. Most importantly, it helps ensure no player is missed during the roster creation process.

2. Contact your child’s current coach to let them know your child will be away but would still like to be considered for a roster spot. Placement will be based on evaluations from the previous season.

The $20 fee applies to all players—whether attending tryouts or not—as it covers both tryout staffing and the extensive administrative work required to build teams and submit rosters to EMSA.

Yes. Goalkeepers should if possible attend both the general team tryouts and the dedicated goalkeeper sessions to ensure they are fully evaluated.

Last season’s informal process—where returning players didn’t register or attend tryouts—led to confusion and roster issues. This year, all players must register and attend tryouts (or formally register and notify us if they’re away) to ensure we have an accurate record of who intends to return.

The $20 fee and tryout process give our staff a clear list of returning players and helps us place every player appropriately. This updated process ensures fairness, clarity, and better team formation. In short: the previous system didn’t work.

No. All players must register through the TeamSnap link (available August 1st) in order to participate. Walk-ons are not allowed. Registration is required to ensure insurance coverage and to give the club accurate contact information before and after the placement process.

If you are new to Sting please register for our tryouts, specific times will be posted on the website when ASA permits in early August.  Once rosters are finalized players placed on a team will receive an email to register, pay fees through TeamSnap.

This Indoor 2025/26 indoor fees are $995 for U11 (2015) and under and $1150 per player for older age categories.

Teams typically play 1–2 games per week, with 2 practices and 1 club training session, meaning players are on the field 3–4 times weekly.

We operate girls and boys programming from U8 to U18

Please register and attend the open tryout.

Issuing refunds after registration is rare and should not be expected. In the cases of documented injury, moving or other special circumstances we have worked with families to issue partial refunds on a case-by-case basis.

For younger age groups, we encourage equal playing time. However, at any age level, poor attendance at training and practices may result in reduced game time. Joining the club is a commitment, and regular participation in training and practice sessions is expected. If your family cannot ensure your player can make practice. We suggest another program.

Unfortunately, no, there may not be space for all children in the program. We are a competitive program with a focus on development. That said, we have teams from tier 1 to tier 3 and accept children of many skill levels - from members of other clubs at the tier 1 level and particularly at the younger age categories players just starting their soccer journey. We work closely with SWESMA to place players not accepted in the Sting Club program on community teams/programs..
