Standards for Quality Soccer

The Canada Soccer Standards for Quality Soccer are designed to outline the minimum expectations of member organizations in Canada. It is expected that all member organizations provide a developmentally appropriate, safe, enjoyable, accessible, inclusive and welcoming playing environment for their participants, which differentiates it from non–member soccer and unorganized play.

The primary goals of the Canada Soccer Club Licensing Program are to:

• Set clearly defined standards and expectations for member organizations;
• Recognize excellence in the soccer community;
• Raise the level of all soccer organizations throughout Canada; and,
• Drive change in the soccer system.
