Description
FunTeam Alberta promotes family oriented, low cost, and less competitive sport to be enjoyed by participants of all skill levels. We are an inclusive organization that encourage any activity to be FUN for the participants, parents, coaches, volunteers and the rest of the community!
Welcome Families!
Whether you are new to Fun Team or a returning family we are excited to participate in this season with you and your children. Fun Team is a unique opportunity for the community to come together to create a positive opportunity for our kids to participate in recreational soccer. We strive to build a network of families who are excited to volunteer their time as coaches, assistants, and team supports. We as parents will support our kids by teaching them skills, building their confidence, and reinforcing positive attitudes for soccer in a non-competitive environment. It is a rewarding experience to be a part of your child's activities, but it is even more wonderful to see how excited the kids feel when they have their parents on the field with them helping out.
What to Expect: parent volunteers will coach the children, encourage all members of the group, and help to ensure the equipment is accounted for each night. We follow a nightly routine of set up, warm ups, skills, and finish with a group scrimmage and equipment clean up. We expect inclusion and encouragement regardless of skill level and strive to create a positive experience for all families and children.

*PLEASE NOTE: for children in the youngest age group, we will encourage at least ONE parent to participate WITH their child for the skill building portion of the evening. This is a volunteer based soccer program, and the youngest often need the most help. Having parent participation in this age group will allow the children to have one on one help to build their skills and will allow the volunteer coaches to be able to focus on facilitating the group.

Thank you for your consideration in joining us this year.
Due to planning and time constraints, our season will not have regular make up games. If we are unable to play due to weather there will be no game night that week. However, if the season ends up being extremely rainy we will consider looking at additional makeup days subject to the availability of fields with the City of St. Albert.
We do not currently have any restrictions at this time. Due to the ever changing situation surrounding Covid 19, please be advised that this has the potential to change. There would be an expectation that families continue to monitor and comply with any restrictions.
Thanks and we look forward to an amazing season!!! Can’t wait to meet you all!
