CMSA is committed to aligning with Canada Soccer‘s Grassroots Standards that are based on the principles and framework from long-term player development (LTPD).

The Canada Soccer Grassroots standards is what CMSA bases league play formats and rules from. These standards have been compiled from best practice research from around the world to then be applied within the Canadian soccer landscape.

There are some exciting, innovative, and child-centric approaches to both the game formats, rules, and standards associated with the Grassroots game. CMSA is excited to lead this alignment and change within Calgary and the province of Alberta.

These standards will help to evolve the game of soccer in Canada to put player enjoyment, retention, and development at the forefront.
