Program Descriptions

Ontario Soccer Grassroots Standards

The Ontario Soccer Grassroots Standards were designed in order to provide every player the best opportunity to play soccer and remain active for life.

Grassroots Soccer is the most important part of the player pathway. This is where we give children their first experience in soccer. Ensuring this first experience is fun and enjoyable and revolves around child-friendly soccer is essential.

Over 70% of The Ontario Soccer membership are in these development stages and ensuring players come back, with a smile the following season should be. the goal for every coach and organization. The majority of organizations in our membership all play a pivotal role across these very important development stages.
