IMPORTANT INFORMATION

GRASSROOTS

Grassroots is a U4 to U8 initiation program, where children can learn the basics and joys of soccer on Saturday mornings for twelve weeks from June to August. If your child turns four years old in the reference year (between January 1st and December 31st) he/she will be able to be part of the U4 group. One hour sessions on Saturday mornings allows players to improve their motor skills, attention span and learn the first rules of a team sport. Our program has build its reputation in our region as a bilingual service.

CDC PROGRAM

For over a decade, Soccer Canada has championed the implementation of programs that prioritize player development at the club level. This framework, known as the Club Development Center (CDC), focuses on players aged 4 to 12 and has a dual mission: to offer high-quality training to all players—regardless of skill level—while fostering a safe and enjoyable environment for growth. Central to the CDC’s philosophy is the belief that players thrive when they’re having fun, which is why equal attention and opportunities are given to every athlete to help them reach their full potential.

Games are played in a group format, so groups in the same category usually play their games on the same day. The schedule is set by the Association régional de soccer (ARS).

COMPETITIVE PROGRAM

The competitive program offers participation in a competitive league where all are welcome, for players aged 13 to 21. The players are supervised by certified volunteer coaches and have practices and a game once a week during the summer season (usually late May to early September). This program is for the player who wants to improve their skills, or play for the fun of the game. Everyone is welcome to play; no assessment is performed or required.

What to expect

For the Grassroots program

Introductory soccer program for ages 4 to 8 starting in June and ending August for twelve Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. (4-6 year olds) and 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. (7-8 year olds) on the Morin-Heights soccer field (647, ch. Du Village). Once registration is complete, check your email a few weeks before the season starts for all the details.

For the competitive program

The registrations received for each age group determine the groups and assigned coaches for each player. Teams are registered with ARSL at the end of March each year; by May the club better understands the needs of each age group. At that time, coaches and assistant coaches will communicate with parents regarding scheduled practice and game times. As each coach and assistant coach is a volunteer, training hours are planned according to their availability. Usually there are practice sessions once a week and one game a week.

Volunteers - coaches, referees

Our programs are run by volunteers. Coaches are usually parent volunteers who have either played soccer, coached other sports, or are willing to get involved and learn. For those who wish to become a coach, the club offers the required training through weekend courses at the ARSL.

High school students or adults with soccer experience or not can also get involved by becoming an assistant coach or by serving as a referee or linesman. Those interested in applying for a volunteer position should contact the Technical Director at info@fcmorinheights.com.
