Welcome to our turf.
ESSC Co-ed Turf Soccer Leagues are played indoors on premium artificial grass/turf surfaces. The facility line-up includes Commonwealth Field House, the best turf facility in Edmonton. Enjoy a league that combines some of the best elements of indoor and outdoor Soccer while still emphasizing a fun-first environment. Register early for these leagues, as they are known to sell out quickly!
After your game, meet up with your teammates and other players to enjoy exclusive food and drink specials at one of the ESSC's many Sponsor Bars around Edmonton.

Divisions are based on the experience and skills of a team - not on their competitive behaviour! No matter what skill level you register for, all players are expected to play with a 'fun-first, winning-second' attitude.
Please note that the below divisions may not be offered every season or day. If you have any questions about the different skill levels or where to place yourself, just call us!
This division is for teams who are newer to the sport, or teams that consist of a mix of experienced and inexperienced players. Some players may still be learning the rules of Soccer, meaning the flow of the game will not always be natural. If the majority of players are experienced and skilled, then the team should move up to a higher level if available.
This division is for teams with mainly experienced Soccer players. The flow of the game will be quicker than the Recreational division as there will be fewer stoppages and rule clarifications. Players can dribble, pass, and shoot with accuracy and the team is looking for more of a challenge than the Recreational level. Not all players in this division are highly skilled, but players are experienced and knowledgeable in the sport.
When registering a full team, there is no limit to the maximum number of players you can have on the roster. Minimum female player requirements are inclusive of anyone who identifies as female. |
