Grandmont Rosedale offers activities for all ages and interests. In addition to its highly organized neighborhood associations and block clubs, a variety of other non-profit organizations make Grandmont Rosedale one of Detroit’s most active communities.

The Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation (GRDC) is a non-profit, community based organization dedicated to preserving and revitalizing the Grandmont Rosedale communities of northwest Detroit. GRDC serves as a coalition of the five Grandmont Rosedale neighborhoods and organizes a wide range of community improvement programs designed to help the community prosper as a place to live, work and play.

GRDC’s comprehensive approach to neighborhood stabilization uses strategies such as purchasing and renovating vacant homes, providing home repair grants and loans to low-income homeowners, organizing residents to combat blight, and marketing and promoting the neighborhood to new homebuyers.

Rosedale Soccer League is an instructional/recreational soccer league supported by the area neighborhood associations. Open to boys and girls aged 4-17 years old, Rosedale Soccer’s season usually runs from the first week of August through the end of September. All teams are co-ed and all games are played at North Rosedale Park.

Registration forms and information can be found at www.rosedalesoccerleague.org

Rosedale Soccer is a volunteer-run organization and all parents and guardians of players are expected to pitch in and help in some way. Volunteer roles range from coach to field prep to snack coordinator.

Each player must have a league uniform. We use the same uniforms each season, so it is not mandatory to purchase a new uniform each season. A complete uniform consists of a jersey, shorts and socks. Players must also have soccer cleats, a ball and shin guards. These items are not supplied by the league and must be purchased prior to the first game.

Age groups are as follows:

Age Groups Ball Size Game Day
4/5 year olds 3 Monday evening
6/7 year olds 4 Saturday morning
8/9 year olds 4 Saturday morning
10/12 year olds 5 Saturday afternoon
13/17 year olds 5 Saturday afternoon
