Canada Soccer Coach Education Minimum Standards

The Canada Soccer Safe Sport Roster is a progressive package of programs, policies, and procedures designed to ensure that organizations

that offer soccer programming in Canada create safe, fun, developmentally appropriate, inclusive, accessible, and welcoming experiences for all

participants. For amateur soccer organizations in Canada, the expansion of the Canada Soccer Youth Club Licensing Program, as a requirement of membership, has been implemented as a direct result of the unanimous adoption of the Canada Soccer Safe Sport Roster at the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Members. Ahead of the start of the 2023 soccer season, all member organizations (clubs and academies) that offer youth soccer programming in a

Canada Soccer Member Association Province and Territory are required to meet the minimum Standards of Quality Soccer to be recognized as Quality Soccer Provider within the Canada Soccer Youth Club Licensing Program and in support of the guiding principles of the Safe Sport Roster. Within the Standards for Quality Soccer, it is required that coaches are trained and/or certified appropriately for the program(s) in which they coach and aligned to the Canada Soccer Safe Sport Roster.
