Spring sports registration open

Winnipeg

Registration for youth soccer, baseball, and softball is now open across Winnipeg.

Caregivers should register their children through their local community centres for the appropriate age and level of play available within their catchment areas. Cost and commitments range depending on age and level of play.

Each outdoor season typically begins once playing fields are dry, usually by the end of April or first week of May, and run through the end of June, or, in some cases, into early July.
