Shape the Player, Shape the Game, Shape the Future

Alberta Soccer is committed to the Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) and to delivering coaching education that enhances the development of coaches and most importantly, players.

OUR VISION
To skillfully train, develop, qualify, and support more coaches to be teachers of the game.

OUR GOAL
To better equip coaches to develop training programs rooted in LTPD principles at all levels of our game, fostering healthy, life-long enjoyment in the game and raising the playing standard province-wide.

Coaching can be any or all of these:

  • A rewarding way to give back and stay directly involved in the game.
  • A way to keep yourself active and in shape.
  • An opportunity to lead and embody important life skills such as organization, time management, work ethic, and people skills.
  • An opportunity to be a respected community leader through soccer.
  • A part time job for the serious coach.
  • A career for the aspiring coach.

By getting into coaching, you are taking part in an exciting period as the future technical direction within Canada takes shape. Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) provides the framework for coaches to work together following consistent pathways and methods that put players first.
