| The TKO Academy Juniors program is the first step in the development of a young player's abilities. The program is open to all U7 and U8 boys and girls, and is designed to develop their skills and confidence with the ball, as well as to encourage a love for the game.
Training sessions emphasize individual skills by utilizing small-sided games to provide each player with more touches on the ball and the freedom to develop at their own pace. This program will prepare players for league play at the U9 level by giving them both the skill and the confidence to excel in real games.
