Calgary’s largest youth sport organization says it is freezing fees for the 2025 outdoor and 2026 indoor seasons.

The Calgary Minor Soccer Association (CMSA) says all player registration fees will be unchanged; a decision it says will keep soccer accessible for families throughout the city.

“Although costs continue to rise across the board, we remain firmly committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to play, grow, and feel a sense of belonging on the field,” said Carlo Bruneau, CMSA executive director.

“By holding player fees steady, we’re taking deliberate action to support families and reinforce our commitment to keeping the game affordable and accessible for all.”

The fee freeze comes as the CMSA is growing its portfolio in the city through new corporate-sponsored tournaments, expanded player training opportunities, added development camps for referees and community-focused initiatives.

“We’re proud to be growing the game in Calgary, and we’re doing it with purpose, heart, and responsibility,” Bruneau said.

CMSA is also committed to building more field space in Calgary through its Fields for our Future campaign, which explores investment in high-quality, community-based soccer infrastructure.
