Galt fc's core values - and why you should join us

In every age group, Galt FC focuses on fun as a core requirement in every session and game. 

Giant soccer balls. All players v. two coaches. Freezies after a hot session. Slip-n-slide penalty shots. Making sure that players have a great time on the field and with their teammates. 

Ours is a program that aims for engagement and joy as the foundation for whatever your child may want in the future, whether that's from soccer, other sports, or as an approach to life.

Life is hard enough for families and the desire to place kids in sports that build so many incredible characteristics should be better supported. 

Galt FC operates as a social enterprise: we're technically a for-profit organization, but we operate at the margins of fiscal sustainability because child participation in sport and an active lifestyle is at the top of our values.

Our kids need it, we need it, and our community benefits from it. 

Our coaches are present at every moment on the pitch to support your kids. 

Whether it's tying shoes, teaching Cruyff Turns, helping to get past tears from knocks or frustrations, learning passing exchanges, giving them the freedom to make and grow from mistakes, or recognizing that it's been a long day and freezies are needed.

We're here for all of it.  

Our coaching - and how our sessions are structured with both skill development and games - is what creates the best atmosphere for our kiddos.

We take the approach that skill and team development should happen together, and we encourage it at every opportunity. 

When kids are introduced to things that challenge them in a supportive environment, their best learning happens. That's why we work to develop their sports IQ as much as we try to develop their shooting. 

Parents trust Galt - and kids enjoy playing here - because fun is followed by growth. 

Growth in confidence, skill, values, personality, character on and off the pitch, in moments and memories. Growth is the thing that we strive for. 

One of the best ways to spark something within a child is to help them feel like they're moving forward.

At Galt FC, we subscribe - and have done for years - to our version of the Norwegian method of youth development in sports. 

Let them play, let them have fun, let them try different sports, and let kids be kids. 

It's not about winning at these ages: it's about developing a love for sport so that when they find theirs, they're ready to do what they want with it.
