Grassroots Program (U4, U6, U8, U10)
Halifax Dunbrack Soccer Club's Grassroots Program represents the most important part of the player pathway. In this program, we introduce players to the game, with a focus on fun, physical literacy and safety. We employ a Canada Soccer endorsed training model, with all curriculum developed to focus on a love for the ball that will eventually grow into a love of the game. Players are scheduled to train once per week. There are no player assessments for this program.

- Uniforms and balls will be given out to players at the facility at the first session.
- Players must come to training in their own sneakers and shin guards and must bring a water bottle and their ball each week.
