Introduction

ASTRA Soccer Academy is a locally owned and operated soccer academy based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and is recognized by the Canadian Soccer Association as one of two National Youth Club License holders in the province, and the only one in Saskatoon (as of 2023). Organizations achieving this licence display characteristics and demonstrate behaviours aligned with the highest expectations of governance, administration, infrastructure, and technical expertise. It also means that ASTRA supports the Canada Soccer Pathways and is committed to the development of all players.

Since our inception in 2011, ASTRA has become known for providing high quality training programs for girls and boys ranging from five to eighteen years of age with the sole purpose of helping all players reach their full potential. First and foremost, ASTRA is a place of learning and our developmental approach places the emphasis on individual development over team accolades. This isn’t to say that we don’t enjoy our teams being successful, but instead, we measure success based on each individual’s technical improvement, game intelligence, and competitive mindset; all of which are required to play the game at higher levels. ASTRA is available to players of all levels and offers full-time programs as well as part-time supplementary skill sessions.

We are also very proud of the positive impact that our HappyFeet program has had in introducing thousands of two to five year olds to the sport of soccer through our licensed HappyFeet curriculum. Each year we see many of our HappyFeet families transition into our U7 ASTRA Programs and it’s incredibly rewarding to follow the journey that our youngest members have started on. HappyFeet currently operates in Saskatoon, Regina, and Moose Jaw.
