VTA Programs - 2021

Virtual Training Academy - by Ottawa TFC

The Virtual Training Academy programs put players through virtual training sessions focused on improving their ball mastery as well as their physical strength and coordination, and in some cases their fitness.  Players work through each workout live via zoom, with their team or training group under the guidance of our Academy coaches.  They interact and see each other training, see exercises demonstrated on video or by the leading coach, while coaches correct form, motivate, and lead players through the workout. 

The offered programs are listed below, with each program tailored for the age group with challenging and relevant exercises, session lengths, and instructors who have experience working with those ages.  All of the programs are fun, incredibly beneficial, and more than worth the time to do.
