Registration Process

The Manitoba Soccer Association streamlined the registration process for all youth players in the province (U3-U18) so we are now using the RAMP registration platform. We are providing you with a list of Frequently Asked Questions to help you through the new process, and a step-by-step guide on how to register.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What is the new registration process?

All youth players in the province (U3-U18) must now register directly with their community center. Players must be registered with the MSA to be considered eligible to play in the season as a youth or mini player.

2. Why the change to a new registration process?

The Manitoba Soccer Association is wanting to streamline the collection of data and fees and use the same process for youth players in the province that all senior players already use. The new registration process will also allow us to better collect data and demographics for the players in our province that are required by Canada Soccer.

3. Do all youth players, at all ages and levels, need to use the new registration process?

Yes, all youth players (recreational, developmental, premier) in Manitoba from U3-U18 will register the same way using the new registration process.
