Working with our youth, our academy provides highly educated, qualified, and certified coaches who strive to create a positive environment based on learning through good habits and a focus on long-term athletic development.

Philosophy

Our philosophy is to ensure everyone has the opportunity to play and enjoy the soccer experience at a grass root level. Basics and foundations of soccer principles are the main focuses - with success coming naturally from effort and commitment on the part of players/coaches. This academy aims to create an environment for all players within our respective program to play and develop at a level that is appropriate to them; having fun, all while being challenged and motivated/driven to develop. From there, any outstanding talent or player who excels at all levels/aspects of soccer will be invited to our competitive Rep Team - which consists of a U10 and U12 team participating in the Scarborough District Development League, and a U14 team currently competing the in the Toronto District Youth Soccer League (Tier 1 division).

Mission

Within our developmental program, our mission is to build a child-centered, development focused sports culture with XTSC youth soccer that nurtures and inspires each and every individual in a positive and safe environment. We strive for short-term success but with a focus on long-term development. We believe in order to achieve learning and to inspire/promote development; consistent and quality coaching is of paramount importance, along with a structured but flexible module centered on the needs of each group of young athletes?.

Method

Our clear coaching philosophies and training methods is key to delivering quality and these objectives underline how we enhance the player?s development:
