Alberta Soccer is committed to the development of Grassroots Soccer Programming by supporting the many parent, youth and volunteer coaches who provide encouragement and instruction to the thousands of children who play soccer in the province.

Alberta Soccer supports the implementation of the Preferred Training Model of delivery as advocated by Canada Soccer and FIFA.

The Preferred Training Model uses a station rotation approach which provides an enjoyable and supportive environment for the development of many grassroots coaches across Alberta.

The development of the grassroots coach is a key responsibility for Alberta Soccer and every community, in recognizing that it is the coaches’ enthusiasm and passion for the game that encourages many youngsters and future players to take up the sport.
