TEAMS
The CMSA Festival format allows us to pool all of the players together for training and create different groups each week for games. That way we are able to look at the varying skill sets of each player and put them into game situations that are both fun and competitive to a level they are comfortable with.

TRAINING

At least one training day per week.
Training days/times will be determined by coaching staff and gym availability.
One parent/guardian must be in attendance at all practices.

GAMES

CMSA Grassroots League game days are every Saturday at the Dalhousie Community Centre fields.  Your registration includes the entire season from April 22 - June 22, 2024.

      COACHING

      All teams are coached by qualified volunteer coaches.

      Our Academy Team supports the coaches by providing them with weekly lesson plans and detailed activities to use in practices.

      We have many experienced coaches who are willing to help mentor new coaches to make sure all of our teams succeed.

      North Calgary FC provides coaching education to all of our coaches. Starting with the Soccer Canada Community Stream Workshops and working up to the Provincial C Licence coaching certificate. To apply for a coaching position or to find out more about these programs, visit our COACHING page.

      VOLUNTEERING

      North Calgary FC is run by volunteers, and therefore as a minimum, each family group is asked to support your soccer program by volunteering for one position each soccer season. If all parents participate, the soccer program will continue to operate smoothly and efficiently.
       

      At the time of registration, NCFC collects a $75 volunteer deposit, once your family has completed a volunteer position, that is approved by the Club, the deposit will be credited to the player’s account and refunded at the time of jersey refunds.

      Roles that qualify for credit: 
      • Head Coach 
      • Assistant Coach
      • Team Manager 
      • Season wrap up coordinators
      • Team Photo Coordinator 
      • Casino Helper
      In addition to thesevolunteer roles all teams require volunteers who contribute  to support the team activities, however only those volunteer positions outlined above will qualify for a credit.  Duties such as field marshall, bench parent, linesperson, putting up nets etc., do not qualify for a volunteer credit but rather are part of being helpful to the general benefit of the team.
       

      **If there are no coaching volunteers for your team, a $75/per player fee may be charged to pay for a coach.

      FUNDING

      We believe that every child should have the opportunity to play.

      Do you need help with funding for your child's registration fees? Both Kidsport and Jumpstart are here to help keep kids in the game.  They do not apply the funding to technical training fees, but North Calgary FC has payment plans to help you out.  Contact Us to find out more.
