How to Register
General Information
We are excited to offer the partnership with Gorge Soccer and access to their PowerUp registration system. This should make everyone's lives a bit easier as it is the Registration System used by almost all of the youth clubs in Lower Island
This new system will provide you with some of the following benefits:
- Permanent family profiles – you create a profile this year and it stays with you for your/your children’s soccer “careers”.
- All future programs, camps, events do not require you to re-register and enter your personal information again!
- You can register a lot more parents/guardians/helpers as you want (today’s blended families need this sort of flexibility/functionality)
- You can log in anytime and check payment status, edit contact information, (re)print receipts, etc.
- Registration and Tax Receipts are always available to you
- e can provide credits to you to eliminate refund cheques i.e. ia credit is placed in your Gorge/PowerUp account to be used for other programs
- Eventually we will open the automated payment system for those that want to pay that way (i.e. scheduled monthly payments from your credit card)
- Purchase of club uniforms/kits via system
- You will be able to check player schedules (personalized for you/your family)
- A mobile app that the coach can use to check team attendance and communicate with the parents/guardians
- And much much more!
Setting Up An Account
The new PowerUp registration system is like an online store (think of Amazon.ca) whereby you first create a User Account and then you can purchase "products" (e.g.2022 Spring League) by placing them into your shopping basket and pay for them as per usual methods. So the process is …
Set Up your Personal Account
- This is like an account on Amazon where you create a profile and use again and again to purchase programs, do payments etc
- IF you are volunteering or Refereeing then select the above
Register the rest of your family
- Alternate/additional parents/guardians/helpers can be added
- Register your youth players as Family members
Register for the Programs (products) that you want to purchase
- typically this would be 2020 Fall Registration --- add this to your shopping basket
Checkout ---
- for you to be fully registered you must go through the checkout process
- If you do not complete this process … you will NOT be registered
- this will require completion of a payment process
- fees can be i) pay full fee, ii) partial/installment payment and iii) pay at the office selection
*** If you are looking at Financial Support (e.g. KidSport or JumpStart) then note this and select “Pay Offline”

POLICIES
REGISTRATION POLICIES
- **** IMPORTANT **** We require a minimum of 50% deposit be paid before the player is assigned to a team or a uniform is provided and player starts playing. This is to cover program costs (e.g. administration, uniform/kit costs, etc). If this is a financial issue, please contact League by email.
- We will not provide a kit unless this deposit is paid.
- Register early to ensure a spot for your player next season & save on your registration fee! Last season we had to implement a wait list for some divisions. In some divisions the club does fill up and players can get wait listed. Please make sure you register early.
- Payment in full is desired. Those that have arranged payment plans with United Soccer; have paid deposits; or those waiting for Financial Assistant programs (KidSport) will be the exception.
- If you do pay and change your mind we can always de-register the players and the league can provide refund of fees if you have also paid.
- Players that want to pay by cheque are still required to complete the online registration form. Cheques made out to: "Gorge Soccer" (United Soccer's partner for administration)
- We are flexible on payments and the payment is broken into 3 installments. But, if required we can manually set up for you to have 4-5 installments
- The online registration allows for secure Credit Card via Bambora/Beanstream's secure system. E-transfer is also possible ... contact registrar for details.
- Refunds BEFORE season starts - Full refunds will be provided MINUS $10 administration/E-commerce fee
- Refunds DURING season - will be prorated + along with a $25 administrative fee charged
