Looking to get your little one into soccer?  Chinooks is offering a year-round comprehensive grassroots program for the following age groups:

• U4 – players aged 3 or born in 2015
• U5/U6's - players aged 4 & 5 or born in 2013 or 2014
• U7/U8's - players aged 6 & 7 or born in 2011 or 2012.  The grassroots program for U7/U8 is a little less busy/less competitive compared to our CMSA program(s), with no formal games.

Locations: Grassroots programs will be held at one of two locations:

- SW at Rutland Park Community Centre - 3130 40 Avenue SW, Calgary, AB T3E 6W9

 OR,

- NW at FE Osborne School - 5315 Varsity Dr NW, Calgary, AB T3A 1A7  

Calgary Minor Soccer Association (CMSA) programs for older children begin in U7/U8, and we have other program offerings for players who would like to be challenged more - here.

Program Description – Grassroots Chinooks – U4  

A fun skills and games based introduction to playing soccer for 3 year old’s or born in 2015.  This Grassroots Play and Train program will allow young children to begin to cultivate a passion for the game, while developing an understanding of fair play, rules and applying themselves on the ball.  Each program day consists of 8 sessions a season. We attempt to maintain a Participant Ratio of 6 players to 1 trainer at this age, and as such we may limit registrations until we achieve registration targets or put some registrations on a wait list until a registration number is achieved.  Preliminary class size is limited to 15 participants on each day. You may add additional days (with a discount) to customize your program to have 1 or 2 days a week. If you want to attend twice a week, register for both nights and we will add the second night for $35.

Program – Grassroots Chinooks – U5 and U6

A fun skills and games based introduction to playing soccer for 4 & 5 year old's or born in 2013 or 2014.  This Grassroots Play and Train program will allow young children to begin to cultivate a passion for the game, while developing an understanding of fair play, rules and applying themselves on the ball.  Small-sided games are introduced, and physical literacy is further developed.  Each program day consists of 16 sessions. We attempt to maintain a Participant Ratio of 8 players to 1 trainer, and as such we may limit registrations until we achieve registration targets or put some registrations on a wait list until a registration number is achieved. Players at this age may start to identify an interest to develop further, and Chinooks offer a free option to try out our competitive academy through a 'transition to competitive' option - players can join in on up to 4 of our regular academy sessions on Friday nights at SAIT for no extra cost.
