Soccer is Back!

Springtime in Calgary brings bright sunshine, clear blue skies, and lots of little legs kicking soccer balls across our green fields! Join in on spring soccer so your kids stay active and make friends all at the same time!

Heritage Soccer is a recreational soccer league for children aged 3 to 12 from the communities of CKE, Haysboro, Kingsland, Fairview, Mayfair, Bel Aire, Southwood and Meadowlark Park.

The league will run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from May 4 to June 24, 2021 on Chinook Park School fields.

Online Registration:
The last day to register for soccer is April 7.  If our soccer season is cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions prior to April 7th, a full refund will be given less the TeamSnap and credit card fees.

Each child can choose one friend and that friend must reciprocate on their register form.

This action packed sport combines elements of badminton, tennis and ping-pong. Players will use solid paddles and a wiffle-like ball, while playing on a badminton-sized court. It is a low impact, high energy sport and the rules are very easy to learn.
