What is the Pre Competition Academy program

OV Toros FC have set up a Pre Competition Academy program to help bridge the gap between recreational soccer and competition soccer. The program looks to fully prepare a player for the competition soccer environment. Additionally, the program provides parents and players an idea of what competition soccer is and seeing whether soccer is the sport for them without committing to the full year of competition soccer.

What ages is the program open to?

We are currently offering the program to the following ages: 2010 to 2014 girls and boys

What will the player learn within the program

• Develop their technical skills and how to use these within a game
• Develop their tactical understanding, including positions within the 7v7 game and how each position has different responsibilities
• Being able to put all technical and tactical skills into a game situation
• Being able to work as a team to play good soccer

What is included in the Pre Competition Academy program

• 10 week program (runs in the Fall and Spring)
• 2 x 1 hour training session a week with a professional coach
• 1 training jersey
• Practices every Friday and Sunday

What do I have to do to get into the Pre Competition Academy program?

Parents and players will be invited to join the Pre Competition academy by a Professional Coach and Jack McMullen (7v7 and 9v9 Director of Coaching). However, a parent and player can request to be a part of the program by contacting Jack McMullen at jack@ovtorosfc.com.

What sort of players and parents are we looking for?
