Pre-Match Conference
We look forward to be seeing our wonderful rec soccer crew & new faces as well for the Summer Season! All interested are reminded to read our return-to-play rules. Please be advised that player registrations will be VERY limited, to approx 60 spots. As such, folks should register ASAP, with spots assigned on a “first-come, first-serve” basis.
NOTE: We have had a heavy lean towards male-identifying players & are hence reserving most remaining spots for female/non-binary players. As such, there is a good chance you may be placed on a waitlist, with us arranging payment from you later. If you find yourself in this situation, please message halifaxplays.soccer@gmail.com & we’ll walk through the next steps/ advise if there’s space.

- Registration Fee: $50/Person
- Who Should Join: Players of all ages (19+) & genders are welcome, although we are limited to 50 spots MAX! Please note - that the rec league is oriented towards beginners, as many players are new to sport & just want to have fun. More skilled players can join, provided they adhere to our league's more relaxed, less physical & non-competitive nature.
- Putting Teams In: If you want to join as a team, this may be possible, provided: (a) You have no more than eight players, all of whom indicated their preferred teammates when registering; (b) There is at least 2-3 female players in the group; (c) Your team is not competitive or overly skilled, recognizing this is a recreational, beginner-oriented, fun-first league.
- Format: Games will be 6 vs. 6 by default (unless teams chose to do differently), with ~10 players on each roster. Teams rotate games against each other. We'll also play with a focus on passing & getting everyone involved. There might be one big game once in a while for a change if everyone agrees.
