Welcome to EMSA South West

EMSA South West works with the community leagues of southwest Edmonton to run youth soccer programs for indoor and outdoor seasons and for our Premier soccer team. Our mission is to provide all players an enjoyable soccer experience at every stage by putting their needs front and center.

Is my game still on or cancelled?

If the City of Edmonton closes the fields, games are automatically cancelled.

Field closure notice is posted on the City of Edmonton website. The City updates this information Monday to Friday around 2 pm (select Unstaffed Natural Grass Sports Field). You can also sign up to receive notifications for any status changes.

If the air quality at the substation where your game is occurring is 7 or higher at 4 pm Monday to Friday (regardless of the time it was last calculated at), games are cancelled.

For U5 to U11 games where all games occur in the South West area of Edmonton, the reading is taken from the Edmonton Lendrum substation on the Government of Canada website.

For U13-U19 games (managed by EMSA) where games can occur in different areas of Edmonton, you will need to check the substation where your game is located. A list of individual fields and the link to their reporting stations can be found here. EMSA’s air quality procedure can be found here.

For weekend games, follow the EMSA’s air quality procedure where the air quality is checked 1 hour before game start time (regardless of the time it was last calculated at) at the substation location where the game is to take place.

If fields are open and the air quality is 6 or lower, teams are to report for their game. If weather or air quality isn’t good at the game start time, the referee would be the one to decide if the game is cancelled at the field.

Weather and air quality predictions, weather watches or warnings will not cancel games. If fields are open and air quality is within the policy’s range, games will proceed and it will be up to the referee at the game start time on the field to determine if a game is cancelled.

Soccer in Edmonton

EMSA is excited to embark on a transformative initiative to build the EMSA Regional Indoor Soccer Centre to support youth soccer.
