Welcome to
Santos FC Academy –
Canada
Soccer in
Canada has evolved from a recreational
activity primarily for young children,
to a serious sport for pre-teen and
teenage athletes. The phenomenal growth
in number of children participating in
soccer attests to the sport’s popularity
in this country.
With this
growth has come increased demand for
high-level training and coaching. Santos
FC – Canada has as its objective to
improve and develop young players using
techniques and methods developed in the
world’s top soccer programs
SFCC
coaching philosophy is to promote
creativity and the “magic” art of
playing Brazilian soccer.
Our focus
is on developing the skills, techniques
and creativity needed to be a highly
skilled, confident player.
Training
sessions integrate skill training, game
play and intense agility and
coordination exercises. The central aim
of SFCC is to encourage children to
spend longer working with the ball
practicing and developing their skills.
Everything
that we do has this in mind and at SFCC
training sessions almost all of the time
will be spent working with the ball at
your feet.
We bring
the flair and passion of Brazilian
Soccer to you right at your door step.
“Enthusiasm is everything. It must be
taut and vibrating like a guitar string.”
Pele
