About us
Our story
A Calgary club built on a simple idea: give every child great coaching and a place to belong.
Why we started
YYC Youth Soccer Club grew out of years of coaching kids around Calgary. Founder Mohamed Omar saw how much young players thrive when they get patient, skill-focused coaching in a positive environment, and how much the game teaches beyond the field: discipline, teamwork, resilience and respect.
Today the club trains many children and teens through age-based programs, renting indoor and outdoor facility space across Calgary so kids can keep developing through every season.
Our mission
To help Calgary youth develop as soccer players and as people, through quality coaching, a welcoming team culture and a love of the game.

Founder & Head Coach
Mohamed Omar is the founder and head coach of YYC Youth Soccer Club. For the past 20 years, he has dedicated himself to training youth in soccer, coaching children of every age and ability, from young beginners taking their first touches to teenagers sharpening their game.
Mohamed's coaching is rooted in the fundamentals: sound technique, smart decision-making and hard work, delivered with patience and encouragement. He believes every child can grow with the right guidance, and he takes great pride in watching his players build confidence, character and friendships on and off the field.
His commitment reaches well beyond the pitch. Mohamed is a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal in recognition of his contributions to the community.
Today, many kids train in his program. Mohamed founded YYC Youth Soccer Club to give Calgary families a welcoming, development-focused home for youth soccer, where every child is encouraged to learn, compete and love the game.
