West Prince Storm Soccer Club © 2026
It is hard to believe that the 2026 season is just around the corner. This article is designed to try and provide some general information to everyone so that parents know what they would be signing up for.
Community Soccer Programs:
The club will be offering the following community soccer programs for the summer.
Under 5 (born in 2021 & 2022) - The Under 5 age programs will take place as follows:
Bloomfield will be running an Under 5 dedicated soccer program. We will also be operating an Under 5 program out of our home base of Hernewood. The maximum number that Bloomfield can take will be 20 players. For Hernewood we will take as many players as we can and if we have a very large group then we will have two sessions back to back.
Once we have the 20 players registered for Bloomfield we will start to create a waiting list.
At the moment the other community programs will be offering active start programs only for the under 5 age groups so if you are taking part in that, you will register directly with your local community - please do not register with club in this instance.
Under 7 (born in 2019 & 2020) - this program will see the biggest change from 2025 to 2026 and will be set up as follows:
We have tried the past couple of summers to host jamborees with nowhere the success level that we were striving for. For 2026 we are going to change the format so that teams will be established in each community of Tignish, Alberton, O'Leary and Ellerslie (unsure if there will be a program out of Bloomfield this year so for now it is just the 4 community options) and these teams will practice once a week in their local community. As well though, all of the teams will have a weekly game at Hernewood which will begin around the end of June and will last for approximately 8 weeks. The teams for this age level will be co-ed. The game night at Hernewood will be on Wednesday night for the under 7 league.
Under 9 (born in 2017 & 2018) - this program has gone very well these past two years since the community programs joined with the club so we are not planning any major changes to this age group. We will continue to offer both a boys division and a girls division where community teams will be established (Tignish, Alberton, O'Leary and Ellerslie) and these teams will practice once a week to go along with their weekly league game which will be on Thursday night.
Under 11 (born in 2015 & 2016)- we have tried to host a community under 11 program these past two summers but we have not had much success. Anyone who is interested in playing under 11 soccer this summer should plan to come out when we begin our under 11 teams. If you want to come out and get a feel for it you can attend our "Come out and try soccer" sessions which will be happening right after the March break, there is no cost to these sessions. After these sessions are completed we will begin under 11 tryouts and the goal this summer is to have at least 2 teams each on the boys and on the girls side (if we have enough interest for 3 teams then we would most certainly try to put that together). While we realize that some parents would like to stay just within the West Prince area, unfortunately with the small numbers for a community program it just isn't feasible. Our goal is to hopefully evaluate all of the players who are out for the under 11 teams and try to make sure that they are on a team that falls within their competitive range. For more information on the under 11 program please visit the competitive team information page.
