TESTIMONIALS
I have seen several leagues in Mississauga but this one is run so much better, way more organized, and the girls seem a lot more skilled. Coach Kim, along with other coaches are on top of everything! Quite happy to be a part of Future Girls for sure!
I did also want to let you know that your soccer program is amazing -As a mom of three girls, the concept of your program is fantastic, and it was an amazing learning experience for all three last summer. I recall that after my husband watched his first session, he remarked to me that he thought there was more skill-development in one session than our girls had experienced in 2 summers playing house league elsewhere!
Back in July we registered our daughter for a soccer program ‘similar’ to yours. (or at least it was supposed to be) Not to put them down, but it was an absolutely TERRIBLE investment. It wasn’t a good experience at all and we were disappointed to say the least. We were so happy & excited to see how the house league unfolded on Saturday with Coach Kim. It was nothing short of AMAZING. I am still in awe with how all the ladies/coaches gave the girls the 30 min drills (real drills this time around) and how the game was played amongst the girls. My daughter absolutely LOVED it with a passion as did my wife & myself. We are sooooooooooooooo happy to have come into the fold of Future Girls Soccer. Our daughter just loved the first day as much as we did. She was really in her element. I love the attention all the coaches give the girls and the pointers and the drills. This is amazing and I know with 100% certainty our daughter will excel in your program.
More and more studies are showing that in order for girls to start and stay in sports the environment they start in is one of the most important contributing success factors.
