CMSA Teams Details:

This level of soccer is still for all players of all skill levels. It offers more diversity because we play in the Calgary League with more teams at our same age grouping. Away games are played in Calgary and area, all home games are in Strathmore along with all practices which will be located at the Ranch Market Soccer Fields. As we play our teams in Calgary Minor Soccer Association (CMSA) League, we have no control over when games will be scheduled. We work practices around the CMSA game schedules. We find out the game schedule at the same time as everyone else, when it goes live on CMSA's website.

There will be an ADMIN Fee charged by RAMP for Credit Card processing
