Welcome to Royal Bradford FC’s New Grassroots Program
Royal Bradford FC is proud to bring a fresh soccer opportunity to the Bradford community this year. Beginning November 3, 2025, our Indoor Grassroots Program will run through May 11, 2026, giving young players the chance to learn, grow, and enjoy the game in a fun and supportive environment.
Sessions will be held at the gym at Fieldcrest Elementary School, 100 Professor Day Drive, Bradford, every Monday evening. U7 and U10 players will train from 6:00 to 7:15 PM, while U14 players will take over from 7:30 to 8:45 PM.
This program is designed to focus first on skills training, helping players develop the confidence and technique they need to succeed. Younger participants will enjoy game-based learning and small-sided play, while older players will experience more structured training with scrimmages to put their development into practice.
Registration for the full season is set at $350 and includes a complete uniform kit (jersey, shorts, and socks). Parents are asked to provide their child’s uniform size promptly after registering so uniforms are ready for the first session.
To keep families connected, Royal Bradford FC will be using the TeamLinkt app for all schedules, messages, and updates. Invitations will be sent following registration, and parents are encouraged to download the free app on iOS or Android to stay up to date throughout the season.
Spaces are limited, and interest is already high. We encourage families to register early and secure their place in this exciting new program.
Pre-registration is now open — join the Royal Bradford FC family today and be part of our first grassroots season!

About Royal Bradford FC
Royal Bradford FC was founded with a clear vision: to bring high-quality soccer development to Bradford and provide families with a fresh alternative to traditional house league programs. Too often, parents have to choose between fun recreational play and separate skills training add-ons. At Royal Bradford FC, we believe players should have access to both — within one well-rounded program that balances technical growth and love of the game.
Leading this initiative is Bobby Nikmard, our Technical Director and Head Coach. With over 20 years of experience in soccer and youth development, Bobby has been a driving force in shaping young players across Ontario and beyond. In 2012, he brought Toronto Boca Juniors — the official school of Argentina’s Club Atlético Boca Juniors — to Toronto, before continuing his work with Big City FC, Oak Ridges SC, and Richmond Hill SC.
Bobby’s expertise doesn’t stop at club soccer. From 2008 to 2016, he was a FIFA-licensed player agent, helping Canadian players gain opportunities in Italy, Spain, England, and Scotland. Combined with his career in education, working within one of Ontario’s largest school boards, Bobby has a rare ability to connect technical soccer development with broader youth growth and mentorship.
Royal Bradford FC was created to bring this level of expertise home to Bradford. Our mission is to provide local players with the training, guidance, and opportunities they deserve, without families needing to leave the community for quality programs. With Bobby’s leadership, Royal Bradford FC offers a player-first environment that develops skills, builds confidence, and inspires the next generation of soccer talent.
