Our Academy sessions are led by qualified, experienced and Licensed Academy Coaches that have played the game at various University and Collegiate levels. Our Coaches have the desire and passion to help progress our athletes not only on the soccer pitch, but also in the classroom. Our Coaching team works together to develop a training curriculum that follows the Canada Soccer requirements for Long Term Player Development (LTPD) and aims to deliver appropriate sessions that cater to the needs of our players.
