House League Teams (All play in Didsbury)
New for 2026, Didsbury Minor Soccer (DMSA) is offering separate leagues for girls and boys for all divisions U7 and up. However, this is subject to having a sufficient number of players and coaches to run separate leagues for each gender. If player registrations are insufficient to have separate leagues for boys and girls, DMSA may combine age divisions for a gender or create co-ed teams within a division.
