Our Rec Tech program gives players the opportunity to develop their basic skills (including technical, physical and social skills) in a fun and engaging setting. The weekly 1-hour session consist of various skills exercises as well as small games on a rotational basis. Players are grouped by age and gender and will get exposure to multiple coaches and facets of the game.

Note that U14-U18 players participating in the Rec Tech program may be integrated into our Competitive Skills Centre sessions where appropriate. This would aim to provide players additional exposure to a higher level of play and to our Academy Staff.

Staff Coach: Kylen Grant

Having spent her entire youth career at AOJ predecessors Cumberland United and Ottawa TFC, Kylen has returned to the club as a key member in both the innovative Sports-Études program as well as the club's Open programs. In 2019, Kylen was a starter on the OTFC U17 Girls team that won the club's first ever National Championship. After graduating from our High Performance Academy, she spent 4 years playing in the NCAA with Syracuse University, serving as a captain in her final year. Always returning home in the summers, Kylen has been a mainstay in both the club's Women's team and as a seasonal coach in the Grassroots and Open programs. With almost a decade of coaching experience at the club, Kylen is truly one of our own, and has a deep commitment to the club and its community. We are thrilled to have her as a part of taking the club to the next level.
