TFC Academy is launching its first Youth Program to give kids the chance to improve their skills by learning from elite coaches. The TFC Youth Program is the first phase of Toronto FC's Player Development strategy and has been created with age-specific training in mind. Camps will teach the fundamental soccer skills with an emphasis on fun. Players will be encouraged to experiment, learn the basics in order to feel comfortable with the game, and will be placed in an age bracket that challenges them.
"It's so important to develop players from an early age" said TFC Academy Head Coach Stuart Neely. "We will bring them in to train and will be creative in the development of the program and look to increase their ability to play football and generate more interest in the TFC Academy Program. The Youth Program is open to males and females and it is so important that we generate excitement and interest across the province in Toronto FC.
