**To be phased in through the 2026-27 Indoor and 2027 Outdoor Seasons**
RAMP is excited to announce game-changing updates in their Next Generation Product line…the new RAMP Official Assigning System and Website Platform! These systems are packed with enhancements in functionality while using your existing database. That means that any setup, history, data or changes made to your current platform are automatically mirrored in the updated platform!
If you are using the RAMP Registration Platform, or any RAMP connection tools, such as the registration sync, you will see no current change in their behaviour and functionality when using the updated Website or Assigning platforms. The RAMP Registration platform is currently being upgraded and will be accessible in the unified login for 2027, letting you access all your RAMP products via a single unified login page. Until that upgrade is finished, the registration system logins and front ends will continue to work as they do now and will be accessible for a period of time after the upgrade goes live.
This new login only requires you to login to one portal to access your RAMP registrations, website and official assigning platforms. To access the new Assigning System and Website Platform, you will first need to create a Unified Login.
If you have any questions you can reach out to RAMP Support directly at support@rampinteractive.com or 1-866-607-7267. If you have any SSA related RAMP questions, contact Neysa at n.strueby@sasksoccer.com or at 306-780-9225.

Stronger Clubs, Stronger Game: Building Pathways, Relationships and Leadership
We’re listening! Feedback from the Satori Surveys gave the SSA valuable insight from parents and clubs. While several areas could be improved, the SSA is focusing on priorities that will benefit the greatest number of members. To support this work, the SSA is pleased to offer a full day of education dedicated to strengthening soccer across the province.
Sessions will cover the Grassroots Coaching Pathway, the Grassroots/Rural Officials Pathway, and the key relationships among players, parents, coaches, clubs, and officials. The emphasis of the day is on the club-level benefits of investing in coaches, officials, and volunteers, including better player experiences, safer environments, and stronger local soccer communities.
The day is designed to provide leaders, volunteers, and members with practical information, shared learning, and meaningful discussion. Together, we can build stronger pathways, healthier relationships, and more positive soccer environments in every community.
Lunch Included, Registration info will be available in September
Host Venue: The Alt Hotel, 480 2nd Avenue South

| National Youth Club License | | |
In 2017, Canada Soccer launched the Club Licensing Program with the Canada Soccer Professional Club Licence. This program was expanded in 2018 to include youth soccer organizations with a targeted initial implementation of the National Youth Club Licence. The National Youth Club Licence is the highest category of recognition for youth soccer organizations within the Club Licensing Program. Organizations achieving this licence display characteristics and demonstrate behaviours aligned with the highest expectations of governance, administration, infrastructure, and technical, support their Member Association and Canada Soccer Pathways and participate in the highest level of competition in Canada; the Canada Soccer Player Development Program.
For 2026, Canada Soccer is very pleased to extend the opportunity to each Member Association to invite member organizations (clubs and academies in membership, either directly or through District or Regional Associations) to submit a letter of intent to apply for the Canada Soccer National Youth Club Licence under the Canada Soccer Club Licensing Program.
Organizations interested in submitting a letter of intent, may do so by completing the information in the link below and uploading a signed letter by August 31, 2026.

Over 80% of the new referees that took a Referee Course in 2025 were under the age of 18.
As the Indoor season, with tournament and leagues is in full swing, a kind reminder to all participants regarding proper behaviour, and displaying a positive example, for a Positive Game Time environment. Emotions do come out, words in the moment hurt, and Referees are Human.
Referees are essential to the participant’s experience and advancement of the game. They deserve our respect and a supportive, abuse-free, environment. You can make a difference; always treat them well and thank them for their contributions every game!
If their whistle is Green, they are Under 18!
