Soccer in Schools

Overview
Connecting classrooms and communities through the beautiful game.
Soccer in Schools is a national initiative by Canada Soccer designed to bring the joy and benefits of soccer directly into classrooms across the country. The program helps teachers deliver fun, inclusive, and educational soccer experiences — while connecting schools with their local community clubs to create lasting pathways to play.
Through curriculum-aligned lesson plans, teacher training, and free student playbooks, Soccer in Schools aims to inspire kids to get active, build confidence, and stay connected to the sport in their community.
Now Available for Community Clubs through Club+
Through Club+, clubs can:
- View all video session content, download program materials, including all session plans.
- Apply to receive soccer balls to support local school programming.
- Learn how to connect with nearby schools and become a community partner in delivering the program.
