2026 Grassroots Program

Canada Soccer Grassroots is the foundation of player development across the country, designed to introduce children to the game in a fun, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate environment. The program emphasizes enjoyment, participation, and physical literacy rather than results or competition, ensuring that young players build confidence and a love for the game. By using age-appropriate coaching methods, simplified rules, and small-sided formats, Grassroots soccer allows players to have more touches on the ball, more decision-making opportunities, and an overall better learning experience.

Beyond technical skill development, the Grassroots model focuses on holistic growth—social, physical, emotional, and cognitive. The approach encourages fair play, teamwork, creativity, and individual expression while ensuring that players feel safe and supported regardless of ability or background. Manitoba Soccer Association (MSA) has committed to a province-wide implementation, with a multi-year rollout beginning in 2026, initially targeting U8, U9, and U10 programming. Winnipeg Phoenix Football Club (WPFC), aligned with both MSA and Canada Soccer’s standards, is committed to supporting and applying this rollout to enhance development pathways for young players and strengthen the long-term future of the game within the club and the wider community.
