THIS IS HOW IT STARTS
Game On is a 4-6 week introductory soccer program for kids ages 7–12 who have never played before. Low cost. Beginner-friendly. And timed perfectly to capture excitement from the 2026 FIFA World Cup!
What is Game On?
The World Cup only comes around every four years — and this year history is in the making as Canada co-hosts together with the U.S. and Mexico. Game On is Soccer Nova Scotia’s way of turning that excitement into something real for your family.
If your child has been curious about soccer but never tried it, this program is made for them. No experience, no equipment, no pressure. Just six weeks of fun, skill-building, and a first taste of the beautiful game.
Who is it for?
Game On is for kids ages 7–12 who have never played organized soccer before. If your child has played previously, this program isn’t the right fit — but we’d love to help you find one that is.
What to expect

- Four to six weeks of beginner-friendly sessions led by trained coaches
- A welcoming, low-pressure environment for first-timers
