OTTAWA TFCSOCCER CLUB

WHAT ARE OPEN PROGRAMS?

Open programs represent the recreational stream at Ottawa TFC.

Players from the ages of 9 to 18 learn not only to play the game, but to love it! This is mainly achieved through our Open Leagues, which consist of small-sided matchplay where trial and error is the name of the game and where players build positive mental/social traits. Those who wish to further improve their individual technical skills can also sign up for the popular Rec Tech sessions.

Coaches at the younger ages are usually older Academy players, many of who started in these programs themselves. These coaches are overseen by our experienced senior staff. Together, they foster a healthy learning environment for your child!
