Masters League

Being 40 or over doesn’t mean you have to be over sports. The Edmonton Sport and Social Club's Masters League is exclusively for people aged 40 or over, who want to stay in the game but compete against people their own age, those who want to get back in the game, and anything in between. There are a variety of co-ed sports to choose from, all with an emphasis on the ESSC's motto 'fun-first, winning-second.'

What is Masters?

Masters is a division of the Edmonton Sport and Social Club that's built exclusively for people aged 40 and up. We want to make sure Edmontonians have a place to play sports for life, and part of that means stepping into an arena with people your own age; because while we believe 40s are the new 30s, your knees may think otherwise.
 
Masters offers a variety of sports in multiple skill levels year-round, so whether you're trying to get back in the game after taking time off, or are interested in trying something new, there's a place to play for everyone. Our motto is fun-first, winning-second for a reason - no matter what skill level you play at, in our leagues, positive sportsmanship comes first.
 
If you keep scrolling, you can view all of the various sports on the Masters roster as well as season length, cost to play and more. 
 

Masters League Perks

Why Choose the Masters League?

PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN AGE
Play your favourite sport, or try something new, with adult Edmontonians similar in age, skill, and life experience as you. This means no more sprinting up and down the court against a team of 18 year olds!

COMPETITION MEETS FUN
You don’t need to compromise on the heat of the competition in order to play with adults who are of similar age and skill to yourself. Games in our Masters league are, first and foremost, FUN while still maintaining that competitive edge.

REGISTER YOUR WAY
As we age, we get busier, and busier, and busier. If you still want to get out and be active, you don't need a full team to join you. You can register as an individual and meet new people, or register with a small group of friends and we’ll fill out the rest of the roster for you!

ADD SOME ‘SOCIAL’ TO YOUR LIFE
After your games, head out to one of our nearby Sponsor Bars to cash in on exclusive ESSC food and drink deals. Your "me-time" doesn't need to end when the game does.
