WINTER SEASON: SKILLS CENTRE
Seasons Start and length
- 10-week season beginning on the week December 15th, 2024 and lasting until the week of February 28th, 2025.
- Our Summer House League: SKILLS CENTRE program is for all youth regardless of ability level. We will work to develop technical skills, ability in small sided games and 1v1 moments. We hope to start and foster their enjoyment of the beautiful game! Lets enjoy a winter season filled with excitement together!
- While we understand a child’s need to have someone they know on their team, it’s difficult to accommodate multiple requests. Please be aware that we will only accommodate 1 request per child with a communal respect for other families as well.
- Players will participate twice a week;
- Day 1: Dedicated as our “Soccer School”where players will learn technical and ball mastery skills (1.5 hr practice).
- Day 2: Dedicated as a games day. players will be split evenly and play small sided games (1.5 hr session).
What sets us apart?
- We provide certified coaches’ to run the practices to ensure that your little Touro’s get the best coaching and game understanding possible!

PAYMENT OPTIONS
Pay for registration using your credit card online (VISA and Mastercard accepted). We highly encourage this method of payment. Refunds requested by the family will be subject to the Club’s refund policy.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
As part of the Winter Skills Centre Program, registrations will receive a uniform (jersey, shorts, pair of socks).
What Else Do I Need for my child to succeed?
Players must purchase separate shin guards (to wear under socks) and their own shoes – cleated soccer shoes are recommended. You can find these items at any major sporting department store. It is also important to note that having water bottles at games to keep hydrated is extremely important! Reusable bottles are better for the environment and overall cheaper! They can also be purchased at any major sporting department store or even Dollarama.
