Notice to Readers
Project #growthegame shares the Canada Soccer Associations definition of a soccer club[1] as "... being any organization that is a member of Canada Soccer either directly or affiliated through membership with a MA that registers players and coaches and delivers soccer programming. The status of the organization as either not-for-profit or private is not relevant...." Though the organizational structure is different between private and not-for-profit clubs, their professional and ethical responsibility to the soccer community in Canada and the players they represent is not.
In any instance where a distinction between private and not-for-profit clubs must be made, the use of club will be prefixed with "private" or "not-for-profit". In all cases where the term club is used without prefix, both organizational structures are being referenced.
