Registration for the upcoming soccer season is underway for the Eastman Youth Soccer League, which services 15 clubs in southern Manitoba, including Niverville.
The league is a not-for-profit recreational-level soccer league operating mainly in the Eastman region of Manitoba, according to its president, Dave Nelson. Players in the league range from eight to 18 years old, and the league has seen over 3,000 participants in recent years.
“Our season begins in early May and ends in late June, with tournaments or playoffs for each of our age groups just before school ends for summer,” says Nelson. “Outside of the league, most of our clubs host their own mini-soccer programs as well. These programs range in ages from two to seven years old.”
In Niverville, players can register through the Niverville Recreation website until March 15. Teams for Niverville are divided into Under 10, Under 12, Under 15, and Under 18, and registration is $80 per player. Each team plays twice per week throughout the season.
