GOALS OF GRASSROOTS SOCCER To ensure this first experience is fun and enjoyable and revolves around child-friendly soccer. Most of all, it is to have them fall in love with the game. To provide an opportunity for players to use their imaginations, be creative and learn through trial and error. Mistakes are OK. To offer age and stage appropriate development activities with improved playing formats such as 5v5, 7v7 and 9v9 with ball, goal and field size appropriate to physical and cognitive stage development. To educate coaches so they will make the soccer experience a challenging, positive and nurturing one for all young players regardless of ability, that leads to Soccer for Life.
OUR KEY POINT INDICATORS Are players returning to our programs? Are the players engaged? Are we creating the correct environment for each player? Feedback from Surveys: Players Coaches Parents Are players continuing into the u13 Age groups? Are we getting a minimum of 75% of Waterloo United Players in our OPDL program?
