6 Serious Sports Clubs for Kids in Calgary

Known as the number one youth soccer club in Alberta, Foothills Soccer Club programs follow the European model of technical delivery (read: fab for Beckham fans). Offering grassroots, recreational and competitive programs both indoor and outdoor (depending on the season) kids can start at three years of age. Grassroots programs run weekly, are mixed teams, and a great way to see if your kids are ready to kick it up a notch and try out for the competitive Foothills Academy. Tryouts are held in smaller groups (ie three-on-three) so the coaches can personally assess the skills of each of the athletes in order to accurately place them (read: everyone gets to play). It's also the only program with an indoor field. So if your kids are footloose and fancy free, note that registration and descriptions for the fall indoor program opens on August 25.
