Calgary Street Soccer Program
Transforming Lives Through Soccer
Who We Are
The Calgary Street Soccer Program is a proud member of the Canadian Street Soccer Association (CSSA), a non-profit organization using the transformative power of soccer to address challenges like homelessness, mental health struggles, and social exclusion. Our mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment where participants can play soccer, build confidence, and form positive connections within the community.
CSSA is also partnered with the Homeless World Cup (HWC), which is an international soccer tournment for street soccer programs around the world. Through CSSA and the HWC, players in the Calgary program will have opportunities to represent their City (Calgary) and their Country (Canada) in various tournamnets.
