Fun and supportive environment. From our House League, we will offer travel soccer teams for those players who are interested in playing a second night of soccer each week, (*additional cost). These travel teams will compete in 7 vs. 7 soccer games against other local house league teams in the Inter County Soccer League, (Markdale, Mount Forest, Hanover, and Durham).
Players must play in the House League to be eligible to play on the travel teams. Travel teams will be offered to all players that want to play, but if there are more players than available spots, we will utilize a try-out process that, among other factors, accounts for maximum numbers of boys allowed and minimum numbers of girls on each co-ed team, to ensure they meet the co-ed requirements. Players in this age group may be asked to A. P.
(affiliated player), to the age group above them to help fill out team numbers and replace sick, injured or absent players. *** Exceptional Player Status Markdale Minor Soccer recognizes that some exceptional players may be able to play in an age group above their date of birth, so cases will be reviewed on an individual basis. The criteria being the players ability vs. their peers of the same age group, the number of players registered in both involved age groups, the coaches comments, the parents permission and final Executive approval.
