Grassroots Change

Starting this 2024/25 indoor season, the U8 program (players born in 2017) will transition from the grassroots program to the development program. This change is being made to match the structure of other Edmonton clubs, and maintain our competitive edge. As soccer evolves in Edmonton, we the Drillers like to be leaders in this change and take steps that will help our players development. With our U8 teams now participating in EMSA league games, and transitioning to a team atmosphere this move makes the most sense for their continued growth and development.

 With this change, The U8 program will now be a part of the Drillers Development program, with all information being found on the U8 - U11 Developmental webpage. As part of this transition, players will now need to participate in evaluations to secure a place on the team. The evaluation schedule is up on our website, as well as registration links.

We understand that this change may bring up questions or concerns. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you need any further information or clarification. We are here to support you and ensure a smooth transition for all players and their families.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
