About us
Our Mission
To deliver a community grassroots soccer program in Edmonton that focuses on the development of the players, low stress environment for parents and cost effective program.
Community Grassroots Soccer Academy is a coming together of community leagues to provide a low-cost yet impactful soccer experience for kids while fostering a culture of support and learning for our referees, coaches and parents to make soccer more enjoyable for everyone.
We believe that with the power of community, building a strong fundamental soccer program that is affordable and accessible to all kids will be a catalyst to rebuilding soccer in North Edmonton, and that the values our program hopes to instill in our players, coaches, parents and referees will build a stronger sense of community and fair play.
