Our method

Soccer is play first

Children stay in a sport when they enjoy it. Our sessions are built so that a child arrives curious, plays with a ball almost the whole time and leaves wanting to come back. Sport becomes a tool for human and social development.

01

Fun as the engine

Games, stories and challenges instead of drills. Every child touches the ball, scores and celebrates.

02

Health and movement

Running, balance and coordination become a daily habit that lasts well past the first season.

03

Belonging

Sharing, taking turns and winning together. Children make friends and families meet neighbours.

Moving together

Building a life abroad is hard

Starting over in a new country asks a lot of a family. Between work, paperwork and everything new, we can neglect important parts of our own lives, including our health.

Staying in movement helps us stay healthy in body, mind and spirit. It keeps us connected to our roots, and it shows our kids what matters: exercise, staying together, making friends and having fun, no matter what.

That is why the soccer school is for the whole family. Parents are welcome at the field.

Where the idea was born

Born in Brazil.
Built in Waterloo.

Waterloo City FC was founded by Brazilians who are now Canadian citizens. Our method carries the way Brazilians learn the game: with the ball, with friends, for the joy of playing. We believe everything starts with fun and respect.

01

Fun comes first

Children fall in love with the ball before anything else. Every session is built to make them smile and want to return.

02

Respect, always

For teammates, opponents, coaches and the game. It is part of every activity, from the first day.

03

Seriousness, for those who stay

Children who want to go further find coaches who have lived the sport for years and who have played and organized teams and competitions since childhood.

From the founder
I dedicate this project to my daughter, Valentina, Brazilian and Canadian, who loves soccer.

She gives me the chance to stay connected to our roots, and this project lets me give back a little of what Canada has given us since the day we arrived.

Leandro has lived in Waterloo since 2021 and is now a Canadian citizen.
