Hi FTF, Thank you for organizing the FTF EuroID Clinic in Ottawa this past long weekend. I enjoyed the sessions, and appreciate the personalized feedback I received from all of the coaches, but specifically from Coach Michel as part of the GK training. His passion for the players showed in how he took the time to help me understand how I can improve. I am wondering if you would be able to pass this message on to the coaches who were in attendance? I would like them to know how much I appreciate them taking the time to fly to Ottawa to help coach and evaluate us. I look forward to hearing from you, and the coaches in the future. I hope you had a great rest of the weekend, and I hope all of the coaches had a safe trip home. Thank you again

I am a proud FTF Alumni and just wanted to share this with you. I appreciate the support from FTF over the years. We just won the SWAC division and made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2006. As a Freshman I was awarded SWAC all tournament team and SWAC ALL Conference Tournament MVP. I am reaching outside my comfort zone sending you all this information before going to class. I just felt it was important to share since you really did a good job getting me highlighted out there. Thank you so much.Sincerely

From the very beginning, I knew this was a platform that I wanted my son to apart of.Thank you for keeping a very unbiased, neutral and fair place to compete so that these athletes can demonstrate their full potential in an environment free from parental interference.I’m just very glad that I heard about FTF from a parent on the opposite team that my son was playing against years ago.I’ll be in touch again soon when my 10-year-old reaches his time to go to university.

Good evening FTF and Ryan (NLU), Thank you for the very informative seminary tonight! In spite of having four children following different pathways in soccer and earning post secondary scholarships, both in Canada and the US, the refresher was great and I even learned some new things tonight as well!What you have done here is terrific and hope this continues to bring your organization much success.

Evan Selby
Thanks for all of your support of the Spurrell twins! FTF has been instrumental in both of them realizing their dreams! They work so hard but without the ability to showcase themselves that can get lost! Because of you and FTF that isn’t the case and they are both destined for big things! Marcus, you are doing a very very real and valuable thing for the young men and women football players of Canada! The best compliment is that the players you identify go on and have successful university, and beyond, carers!! The Spurrell’s will be forever thankful that you came into our world!! Cheers pal!
Jamie Spurrell
What an #amazing week at the FTF Vancouver spring break combine! My second year doing it, and I love it more each time. Some key takeaways were- Being positionally solid, defending the space as well as the player, moving together as a team, 1, 2 touches are key and happen fast, playing another player on, sometimes these small touches go unnoticed but a team has many roles. I loved being able to play with so many new and fantastic players, as well as experience top level coaching. Definitely will be back soon!
Mia Louden
FTF, a huge thank you for introducing us to Leo. And as mentioned in our announcement, thanks to you and the FTF family for the opportunities you offer these young soccer talents to be seen by the ones that matter. Have a great weekend!!
