ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The U10-U18 Skills Centre is an optional additional program which provides extra skills development opportunities for Competitive and Academy players who are looking for an extra day on the field.  

The sessions are highly recommended for aspiring young players looking to step up from the Competitive level to the Academy level, or for those who simply wish to improve their game and gain the skills and confidence needed to excel and enjoy the game to its fullest. It is the extra step to bridge Competitive players towards the Academy tier. While the program takes players aged 10 to 18, groups will be formed according to age and ability to ensure a positive and challenging training environment for all.

Eligibility: boys & girls born 2009-2017

Program format and methodology

Expand
Collapse

The program is run by our Academy coaching staff. Players are grouped each training day by size and ability. With a curriculum that is largely focused on ball mastery, individual technical skills and 1v1 battles, these sessions are designed to help players become more confident with the ball at their feet in game scenarios.

 

Note that while the Skills Centre consists of an additional training session for current Atlético Ottawa Juniors Competitive or Academy players only, it is not formally part of any base Competitive or Academy program. Players must register for the Skills Centre program separately. Those participating in the Skills Centre will still be expected to fulfill their entire Competitive or Academy commitment.

 

If players are not currently registered to a Competitive or Academy program but still interested in participating, they should reach out to our staff (admin@aojuniors.com). This request will then be passed on to the relevant staff coach.
