Team Official Facility Pass Procedure
Boarded Teams Club U9-U19, Community U9 – U19 and Mini U7 – Playing at the Edmonton Soccer Centres (East, West or South)
- EMSA E-cards will be the only form of team official admission for the Edmonton Soccer Centres Boarded Facilities.
- Team officials will need to download their team official e-cards from the Portal on their electronic device and show the Facilities staff when they enter. They can download it each time they arrive or they can take a photo of it after they have downloaded it and keep it in the photos on their phone. Instructions for downloading will be on the EMSA website under season info.
- This means all team officials who are coaching teams that will play at one of the Edmonton Soccer Centres Boarded Facilities (East, West, South) will be required to get an EMSA E-card (regardless of age group, division, if you are an EMSA Member or Out of District team – everyone will need one).
- If team officials do not have their EMSA e-card to present for admission, then they will have to pay to get in to the Facility and there will be no reimbursement.
- This means it’s important that team officials get their EMSA e-cards before the season starts. There is usually a back log of ID requests right before season starts so please don’t wait!
- Here are the instructions on how to obtain an EMSA e-card for the indoor season:
- Parents/spectators will need to purchase their own season pass or individual admission. Refer to the ESAF website for current costs.
