U9-U18 Spring Tune-Up Scrimmages
The "Spring Tune-Up" programme has been cancelled due to the Public Health directive banning organised, outdoor sports during Ontario's province-wide "lockdown."
Please see OTFC's "lockdown programming" page for information about OTFC's Virtual Training Academy, an excellent way to keep your OTFC Recreational player active and exercising during this time of limited programming options.
U9-U12 Skills Centre - Rec
This skills centre is for Recreational players who want to supplement their Rec league play with weekly skills training under the tutelage of our club coaches. Players will work with some of our young coaches or elite youth players who will teach age-specific soccer and movement skills in a fun environment. Players will learn, work hard and enjoy this program, which will improve both their enjoyment and performance during their Summer Rec League games.
