GRASSROOTS INFORMATION PAGE

FOR PLAYERS BORN FROM 2010 – 2020

GRASSROOTS IS A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM, VOLUNTEER COACHES AND FIELD SUPERVISORS WILL BE NEEDED

Grassroots is the program that caters for the needs of the recreational player, the program where play is most important.

The current youth sports landscape has players pushed in to overly structured sessions, with loads of cones and line drills, stifling the individuals attempts to be creative in their thinking, limit their spontaneous problem solving ability, and turn youth sport in to a boring organized chore.


Grassroots focuses on the need for FREE PLAY, an opportunity for players to love the sport, be safe, and play.

“Play in all its forms is the right of every child. Activities that employ and teach safe and inclusive play and sport are tools to improve children’s lives”. UNICEF

In child development play is a huge component through the early stages of growth, so much so that is a right of every child to have free play –

United Nations High Commission for Human Rights, General Assembly Resolution, 1989


At Fremont YSC we have the program, that provides the safety, and freedom for children to play through the medium of soccer.
