Introduction
BC Soccer strives to provide a healthy and active lifestyle for children, youth
and adults through its Grassroots Development Service Plan.

events, hoping this would stimulate FIFA’s official indoor version of soccer
around the province. However, limited developmental resources and access to
futsal specific coaches has affected regional growth .
