Green and Gold/Golden Bears Soccer Team Program

Print this page

The University of Alberta, Department of Athletics and Golden Bears soccer program is committed to the development of a first class program. This is reflected in the recent appointment of a full-time coach and the movement toward providing a year-round development program. The Green and Gold Senior Men's soccer squad is to be viewed as an extension to the Golden Bear's soccer program that affords talented and ambitious players the opportunity for year-round development.

Please check at the bottom of this page for player prospect information (pdf).

During the Canadian Intercollegiate Sport (CIS) season in the fall, all players registered at the University of Alberta will be eligible for selection to the Golden Bears soccer squad. This would include all full-time students including international and exchange students. The goal would be to select the most talented and strongest squad for competition and challenging for Canada West and CIS National Championship honours.

The benefits for playing with the Golden Bears soccer program are numerous but include the opportunity for high level of competition in a professional environment, supported by the university community, Department of Athletics and an active Alumni Association.

Players selected to the fall program, who are Alberta residents, would be eligible to receive the provincial Jimmie Condon Athletic Scholarship.

The Green and Gold soccer team will play Alberta Major Soccer League (AMSL) outdoors.
