This is my first message as Soccer Director and I am glad that you took time to visit this page.  Soccer is the world’s most popular game.  I love the game that I have been playing since I was 6 years old and 40 something years later, I’m still playing with all the passion and excitement that I felt all those years ago, albeit at a rather slower pace!!!  It is a beautiful, fun game and I appreciate that you have registered your child for soccer this year.

The indoor soccer season will begin in October.  I anticipate an increase number of players for this year.  What is pleasing to see is that we get almost twice as many girls registering for soccer than boys.  As one of the larger community centres in Winnipeg, I hope that Dakota will host at least 11 teams.

We are always in need of coaches.  If you wish to coach, please make your interest known to the volunteers at registration.  On another note, if you have extensive knowledge of the game and have a passion for soccer you might also want to consider becoming a referee; please contact me, Bonivital Soccer Club or WYSA for further details.

The cost for indoor is $300.00 Breakdown:

• $255.00 Bonivital/WYSA fees
• $20.00 Dakota administration fee
• $15.00 Indoor rental costs for practice
• $10.00 Equipment replacement fee
