"As many as possible for as long as possible, in the best environment possible."

Nitros Academy

North Toronto Soccer Academy, located at Eglinton Park, aims to successfully combine organization, coaching excellence and a mutual desire to unearth the limitless potential in each of our young players. We strive to create an elusive balance between the coaching of elite level soccer skills, techniques and tactics with the quest to instill a sense of professionalism, leadership and confidence in all our participants. The term ‘academy’ is indicative of a higher standard of training, performance, delivery and achievement. In our pursuit of coaching excellence, the coaching staff at the North Toronto Academy has developed a detailed curriculum and developmental philosophy that is designed to help our young players realize their potential in a challenging and rewarding environment.
