Youth House League

Fun, Development, and Community Soccer for Every Player

The Welland Soccer Club House League program is designed to provide a fun, safe, and inclusive soccer experience for players of all skill levels. Whether your child is stepping onto the field for the very first time or has years of soccer experience, our House League program focuses on skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship, and having fun.

We offer year-round soccer through our Summer Outdoor and Indoor House League programs, giving players the opportunity to stay active and continue developing their skills throughout the year.

House League Seasons

Summer Outdoor House League

May – August

Our Summer Outdoor House League takes place at Youngs Sportsplex and offers divisions for players from Under-4 through Under-19.

Indoor House League

Summer Outdoor Divisions

U4 Co-Ed

Our youngest players participate in a developmental program that combines fun soccer activities, basic skill development, and small-sided mini-games.

U6 Boys & Girls

Players participate in age-appropriate development sessions followed by small-sided games. The focus is on learning the fundamentals of soccer while having fun.

U8 Boys & Girls

Players begin participating in more structured games while continuing to develop technical skills and teamwork.

U10 Boys & Girls

U13–U19 Interlock Teams

What is Interlock?

Interlock soccer combines players from multiple clubs across the Niagara Region into a larger league structure. Rather than playing only against teams from Welland, teams compete against clubs from throughout Niagara. This creates a more diverse playing experience, greater competition, and expanded opportunities for player development.
