HOW TO REGISTER
To register simply go to our Programs page, select the program you would like to register for, and click on the register now button. If you do not already have a Port Moody Soccer Power Up Registration account, you will need to create a username and password to create your account, then simply fill in the set-up and registration pages to complete your registration. The information you enter into your account will be saved so that as you register for other programs or register other children in your family down the road you will not need to re-enter all information each time. Please ensure you keep your information up to date as this is our main resource should we need to contact you.
WHAT DOES A REGISTRATION DEADLINE MEAN?
In order to meet the deadlines for us to register teams to the League(s), ensure we have enough time to order uniforms and equipment, plus confirm coaches and create team rosters in a timely fashion, we need to set a registration ‘deadline’. At this point, we look at registration numbers per age and division and determine how many teams we will have at each age, gender and division, and subsequently determine team/player registration limits. Registration will remain ‘open’ after the deadline, but will be set to waitlist only unless there is room on a team. If enough players register to the waitlist and we can find a coach, we will try to create additional teams as possible. DO NOT ASSUME THAT BECAUSE YOU PLAYED ON A TEAM WITH PMSC LAST SEASON THAT YOUR SPOT WILL BE HELD FOR THE SPRING OR FOLLOWING FALL/WINTER SEASON. We do give team placement priority to returning PMSC players, but only to a certain date and only if there is room on a team at their assessed age/division level – otherwise registration is first-come, first-serve to be fair to all players wishing to play soccer.

REGISTRATION GUIDELINES FOR YOUTH PROGRAMS
-
All new players to PMSC must provide Proof of Birthdate to complete their registration. Please provide a copy of your child birth certificate during the registration process, or please email a copy (photo is fine) of a Birth Certificate, Passport, Citizenship Card or BC Services Card to registrar@portmoodysoccer.com or mail PMSC - PO Box #119 - 255 Newport Dr., Port Moody, BC, V3H 5H1.
-
Designated ‘development’ teams are for players who attended player evaluations and were selected to play for that team by the Club’s technical team. In the Fall/Winter season, players selected to play on a U8-U10 development, U11-U13 Div 1 or U14-U18 Metro team must register within 24 hours of being selected or that player’s spot will be forfeit and offered to another player. Development team registrations are not refundable. Players will need a special registration access code (received from your coach or coordinator) in order to register for a high-performance team.
-
Our online registration system accepts payment by Visa or MasterCard – this is preferred. If you chose to pay by cheque, payment must be received within five (5) days of registration. If you will be applying to KidSport, a copy of your application or KidSport confirmation is due to the Registrar within one (1) week of registration. Please email registrar@portmoodysoccer.com or mail PMSC - PO Box #119 - 255 Newport Dr., Port Moody, BC, V3H 5H1.
-
If registration in your division is full, do not despair! We work hard to form teams and as additional coaches are identified we may be able to open more spaces in a particular division. As spaces become available players will be taken from the waitlist on a first-come first-served bases. Our Coordinators also work with other neighbouring clubs to find teams for unplaced players.
-
Per BC Soccer regulations, all players must play in their respective age group and the registration system will automatically do this based on the players’ year of birth. Any exceptions must be approved by the Club’s Technical Team and manually changed in the registration system by the Registrar – these exceptions include:
-
If there are insufficient players of the correct age group to complete a team. In this instance, younger players will have to play in an older age group, regardless of the number of players in each age group.
-
If a player has been identified as being significantly advanced in skill and maturity such that playing in a higher age group is necessary to their player development.
-
If a player has an identified physical or mental disability and is best placed in a different age group – this requires additional approval from the BC Soccer Association and medical support.
