Make the Most of Spring & Summer with Outdoor Soccer Fun!

No. For our Mini Outdoor program, every player is provided with an RDT team t-shirt included in the registration fee. Parents just need to provide comfortable athletic shorts, shin pads and socks, as well as proper footwear. For the best experience, we recommend breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics for the hot Winnipeg summer months.
Traditional large-scale soccer can lead to children standing around. Our 4v4 and 5/5 formats ensure that every child is constantly involved, gets more touches on the ball, and stays physically active throughout the entire game portion. It’s the fastest way to improve.
Your child’s safety is our priority. We monitor the Environment Canada Heat Index and AQHI (Air Quality Health Index) closely. On high-heat days, we increase water breaks and decrease drill intensity. If the temperature or air quality reaches unsafe levels, we will cancel the session via the TeamLinkt app.
No. RDT provides all the necessary equipment, including age-appropriate soccer balls (Size 4 for U5-U11), cones, and goals as well as agility equipment. Your child just needs to show up ready to play!
RDT utilizes a specialized “Master Coach” model to ensure high-quality development. Every session is led and overseen by our professional staff who are specifically trained in the RDT curriculum. To maintain a great player-to-coach ratio, we involve parent coaches to assist with logistics, such as coordinating substitutions, supporting goalkeepers, and managing the bench, as well as assisting the professional staff coaches. This allows the Master Coach to focus entirely on the technical training and player performance, ensuring a consistent, high-standard experience for every child.
We believe in celebrating the effort! At the end of the outdoor soccer season, we host a final day of play where players are recognized for their hard work and development.
As our sessions are held in open-field community centres like Whyte Ridge, we recommend applying insect repellent before arrival. Our coaches also keep an eye on the environment, and we suggest a quick “tick check” for your child after getting home from outdoor play.
We do our best to accommodate one friend request per player during the registration process, provided they are in the same age division.
Since our curriculum is “module-based,” missing a week won’t leave your child behind. Each session stands alone in its technical focus, so they can jump right back in.
It is designed for both! We group players by age and skill level. Our coaches are trained to challenge experienced players while ensuring beginners build confidence without feeling overwhelmed.
All RDT participants will receive exclusive discounts at the Red Card Soccer Store on all equipment, footwear, and apparel.
