Please note that due to gym availability the U16 league will not play on Friday, February 13th, 2026.

We offer programming for kids born in 2008 to 2022. Our youngest age group is U4 and children must be born in 2022 to participate in this division. For children born in 2023, we will be considering a 5 week toddler program in mid-June. The season starts the week of May 18th with the exception of U4 which starts Saturday June 8th. For age groups U4 to U13 the season ends with a Soccer Fun Day on Saturday, August 22nd. For proposed age divisions and game days, please see below. This may be subject to change after we review our registration numbers, but we will do our best to keep to these dates and times.

Please note that there have been slight changes to the  age groups compared to previous years. These changes were made to  align with  changes made to Ontario Soccer's Grassroots Standards, as well as the age groups offered by other soccer clubs in the area. There is a new U9 Mixed age group, and the U8 Girls age group has been changed to U9 Girls. We have also changed U10 Mixed and U10 Girls to U11 Mixed and U11 Girls. 

Age groups are subject to change based on registration numbers.

Lakeshore League is a travel league for U11 to U21 divisions that play against other communities in the Grey Bruce and surrounding area (Kincardine, Walkerton, Markdale, etc.). Teams have one game a week and generally one practice a week. The season runs from after the May long weekend to around the third week of August where the season concludes with a year end tournament. There will be a cap on the team sizes so teams are determined by who registers first. Those who may not be able to join a Lakeshore team due to numbers will be put into House League and may be eligible to be called upon to the Lakeshore teams if necessary.

Lakeshore League has new U11 (2015/2016) and U21 (2005,2006,2007) age groups for both boys and girls. Due to field availability and playing nights, we are unable to offer U11 Girls Lakeshore (2015/2016) or U13 Mixed  Lakeshore (2013/2014), however we will look into creating development teams for these age groups should we have coaches come forward.

 For U21, this is a new initiative for Lakeshore and will depend on numbers both to create teams in Owen Sound and enough teams in the league. If this does not move forward, full refunds will be provided.

Age groups are subject to change based on registration numbers.

Congratulations to Dennis Farwell who is the 2025 Margaret Hofmann Volunteer of the Year award winner!

Dennis started volunteering with Owen Sound Minor Soccer  in 1982 as a coach when his oldest son registered for U5 soccer.  He continued to help coach house league, tournament teams and rep soccer for both his sons over the next several years.  He joined the league executive in 1993 where he began as an equipment coordinator,  treasurer and for the past 10 years was our referee coordinator. In addition to these roles Dennis was a longtime referee,  active volunteer for the Scenic City Cup and fundraising for the soccer complex, member of the complex operations committee and an executive member for Owen Sound Men's United.    

Thank you Dennis for over 40 years of dedicated service to  Owen Sound Minor Soccer!

We provide organized soccer to young people in Owen Sound (Ontario) and the surrounding area. We create fun, inclusive sports opportunities to people of ALL ages. We practice; we play; we win.
