Ottawa TFC Pre-Season Training Programs

Stay mentally and physically fit during lock-down

The below pre-season training programs include both indoor and outdoor training components that touch on all 4 corners of player development Social/Mental, Physical, Technical and Tactical.  Specifically designed for the April-May lock-down, the program is designed to both keep players active and mentally fit during the lock down, and to help prepare them for the upcoming outdoor season that is just around the corner. 

The offered programs are listed below, with each program tailored for the age group with challenging and relevant exercises and instructors who have experience working with those ages.  

 

2021 Pre-Season Programs (April-May lockdown)

U5-U8 Pre-Season Challenge

The Pre-Season Challenge is a grassroots version of our highly successfull "Lifestyle challenge" that is used in our provincially acclaimed Elite Academy at the older ages.  Each week, players will complete two online training sessions led by our Academy instructors, as well as various indoor/outdoor challenges assigned each week. 

Challenges are submitted by players and regularly assessed by the coach, with top submissions and performances highlighted each week.  The challenge is structured as a friendly competition, with players working to achieve levels and awards by completing workouts and challenges and submitting them.  

At these young ages, players should have a parent or sibling that is willing to actively support them during the challenge, in order to get the most out of it.
