Commitment to Canada Soccer Grassroots Standards
Dedicated to Maintaining Excellence
Soccer Hounds is dedicated to aligning all playing formats with Canada Soccer Grassroots Standards.
Our Programs and Tournaments align with all Canada Soccer standards and adhere to the guidelines outlined below.
This commitment ensures that every aspect of our programs meets the high standards set for the development and safety of young athletes.
Additionally, we offer a specialized Goalie Program once per season for aspiring goalkeepers, providing focused training to develop their skills in the net.
Canada Soccer Standards, net sizes, playing fields, and match durations are carefully regulated to suit different age groups.
For younger players, smaller nets and fields are used to match their developmental stage. Ball sizes are adjusted accordingly, with smaller balls for younger players to aid in skill development.
Match durations are also tailored to age groups, ensuring that the length of the program is appropriate for the physical and attention spans of the players.
Additionally, coaching qualifications are mandated to ensure that all coaches are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to support players effectively. These standards collectively create a safe and supportive environment conducive to player growth and enjoyment.
