A quick process clarification for this upcoming 2023-24 winter season.
Player Registration
All Ontario clubs must register their players in Sports Engine. Club admins - a reminder that players must be registered in the YI-Travel Division and their team name must comply with the team naming convention - as in the admin manual on the EODSA website (can be found under "Administration"--> "Resources"). Quebec clubs must register their players with Soccer Outaouais.
Once they have been registered, team managers can begin adding their players to their Coliseum roster. The step-by-step process on how to do this will be posted in the coming weeks.
Sports Engine Team Roster Report (TRR)
Managers are not required to bring a hard copy of their TRR to their game each weekend. We will have a copy of each team's on hand at the dome.
IDs
Player IDs are required to be present at each game. While card checks will not be done at every game, they must be available upon request.
As many of you are aware with the summer season that has just wrapped up, players' pictures can now be digitally added by a club administrator to each team's TRR. The process is efficient, free, and best of all no physical cards for players to lose. If you're not sure about the status of your players' pictures on the TRR, contact your club administrator.
Thanks,

The Coliseum Team
It’s time to dust off your snow brush and shovel!
In the event we need to cancel games this season due to severe weather, coaches and managers will be notified via email the evening before. This information will also be posted on our website and Instagram page @coliseumsoccerottawa
Kitmas
Our friends at Soccer Snobs are back at it again! The Snobs, a local soccer podcast, are spearheading an initiative called Kitmas to collect new or in good condition soccer jerseys (pro and amateur), balls, training equipment etc. for local children in need. Originating in the UK, it's a program designed to get soccer/sports gear into the hands of underprivileged youth in our community. We're excited to be a part of this cause and will have a collection bin set up at the RA Centre Dome both December 10 & 11, and 18 & 19 weekends to receive donations. If you'd like to learn more about the fundraiser or contribute financially, please visit this link or drop us an email.
Canned Food Drive
The Coliseum is running a can drive and will be accepting non-perishable food items at the RA Centre Dome for local food banks. Items will be accepted both this weekend (Dec 10 & 11) and next (Dec 18 & 19).
**If you have a donation of equipment or cans that is too large or you don't have the means to drop it off, just send us an email and we can arrange for a pickup**
