Shuswap women returned to Little Mountain this month to play recreational soccer under the lights, but will be moving indoors in November.

Adhering to recommendations and guidelines set out by Canada Soccer and BC Soccer, Shuswap Women’s Recreational Soccer Association returned to play in September, with a series of games under the lights. The series will wrap up at the end of October.

Registration has opened for an indoor session running from Nov. 5 to Dec. 17, 2020 under COVID-19 restrictions. The format will be modified from previous seasons but will still take place at the SASCU Indoor Memorial arena. The first 48 women registered and paid, or by Oct. 31, will be assigned to teams.

Registration can be done online at www.swrsa.net.
