EHSC Season Specific Details


EHSC 2025 Outdoor Program Details

 

A few things to be aware of for the 2025 Outdoor season:

  • To avoid having to cap enrollment, community programs are being led by paid student activity leaders (SALs).
  • We are seeking volunteers to support the U09 Community sessions. Approved volunteers will receive a $25 credit towards future registration.
  • Community program participants will receive a Timbits or EHSC training jersey.
  • U11 Skill Centre games are on turf this summer. The majority of practices are also on turf as a result.
  • There will be two pools of players in U11 Skill Centre, grouped by equivalent skill, that will play against similarly skilled groups from other clubs. 
  • Following the model established by most clubs, kit costs for Skill Centre and Competitive teams are no longer included in the registration fees and will appear as a separate line item at checkout.
  • The competitive kit includes 2 competitive jerseys (1 red, 1 black), shorts, socks, and a soccer ball for the player to use for practices and game warm-up during the season. 
  • Approved volunteer Skill Centre coaches will receive a $50 credit towards future registration.
  • Program costs are reflective of:
    • Facility costs
    • Coaching expenses - Leads and Assistant Coaches, Training, Staffing, Certifications
    • Registration with governing bodies (Soccer Nova Scotia and Canada Soccer)
    • Training Equipment
    • Administrative expenses (operations, registration system, etc.)
    • League Fees (games, facilities, administration, referees, etc.)
    • Additional club operational costs 
  • All Programs, fees, dates, times and locations are subject to change.

Competitive Programs 

 

Evaluations and Placement Sessions

Based on anticipated registration numbers, evaluations are planned for U13 AA and A boys teams, as well as U18 AA boys. For U13 girls and U15 girls, and U15 boys, evaluations will be scheduled if required. If evaluations are not needed, a placement session may be required to determine the appropriate NSSL competition level for the group (e.g., A vs B). 

A mandatory, $20 evaluation / team placement fee will be applied for all competitive teams other than u13 B boys. If evaluations or placement sessions are not needed for a group, the $20 evaluation fee will be credited towards the player's next registration installment payment. Players not selected for u13 AA boys will automatically be included in A evaluations.   

Evaluation dates will be posted once the schedule is finalized. AA evaluations will be in March. A evaluations will be in April. If players are unable to attend the scheduled evaluations, alternate arrangements can be made (please contact georgeshawn@hotmail.com).
