West Region IModel Pilot

Replacing the Western Regional Soccer League (WRSL) for the 2025 Outdoor Season

The Western Region Soccer League (WRSL) is being replaced by the Integrated Model (I-Model) for the summer 2025 season as a pilot programme for the coming years.  

I-Model is an Ontario Soccer-approved pilot project for Ontario's Central, South, West, and East regions. It offers play-in opportunities for competitive-level teams from the North and is designed for boys’ and girls' youth competitive-level teams (U13-U18) competing in the LTPD Soccer for Life pathway.  

The I-Model pilot is going into its 4th year in the Central Region, 2nd year in the  South Region and 1st year for our region. Our pilot programme includes the four  districts in the Western Region plus the Greater North Soccer Association as placed  by Ontario Soccer. 

WRSL has been selected as the I-Model league operator for the pilot project during  the 2025 outdoor season. The league's governance resides with the four districts plus  the Greater North Soccer Association, which is in conjunction with requirements and  guidelines from Ontario Soccer and the I-Model Steering Committee.

Registration for the outdoor 2025 I-Model for the Western Region is now open! Register using the link to the form below:
