OUR CLUB

Who is SASA
The St. Albert Soccer Association is a non-profit organization that strives to offer soccer programs for all ages and levels of skill and interest. With approximately 5000 registered players each year in our indoor and outdoor seasons, we offer programs for child, youth & adult players in both community and competitive leagues.

The administration of programs is implemented by an Executive Director and office staff who are guided by a volunteer Board of Directors. Program and player development are overseen by the Technical Director and the Manager of Player Pathways. The Association relies heavily on volunteers to coach in the community programs.

SASA is registered with Alberta Registries and is governed by the Alberta Societies.
