Firstly I wanted to just take a moment to thank you so very much for the past event. The All-Star showcase was an incredible experience and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was great to continue to build relationships with new players as well as bond with the players from Top-60. You have put together a very talented group and it has been so much fun to play with them!Additionally, it was a great experience to work with Coach Rocky and learn some tactical things from him throughout the showcase.

I want to give my utmost appreciation to FTF Canada for providing such a large and professional platform for myself and so many other soccer players to showcase our talents. Without FTF, many of these opportunities simply wouldn’t exist or be seen by the right people. FTF has been a huge pillar in my recruitment journey — 99% of the college coaches who contacted me had seen me through an FTF combine, showcase, or FTF game footage online. That exposure made a real difference and opened doors that may have otherwise stayed closed. Thank you for consistently creating high-level events, meaningful exposure, and for genuinely advocating for Canadian players. Keep doing what you’re doing — you’re changing the recruitment game and helping athletes reach the next level.

Good Morning FTF It’s Kenrick Sylvestre here. I hope that things are going well with you. I just wanted to thank you for giving my daughter Kyla Sylvestre a great experience at the FTF Winter Combine earlier this year. She really used the event to springboard her into a fantastic 2025. I think that part of the great challenge was that she was only one of a few 2010 players in a group that consisted mostly of 2009 and 2008 players. This past year she started her campaign by making the U15 Provincial Team, spent the rest of the season playing for both the 2009 and the 2010 North Toronto Nitros, trained regularly with the 2008 girls team, and finished it all off with a National Development Centre (NDC) invite. Unfortunately, she didn’t make NDC this year but she is hoping to be invited back for tryouts next year and her plan is to begin the process all over again starting with the 2026 FTF Winter Combine in January. After that, it’s off to Provincial Screening in March and hopefully another great year in 2026. Also, thanks again to your team for putting together a great highlight video for

First and foremost…Thank you so much for the opportunity for Jordie to participate in the NextGen camp over the Christmas break. He had an awesome experience, made new friends, and picked up a ton of new skills. Lola and I spent time working out of the facility during the camp, and it gave us a great window into how well your team operates. Huge credit to everyone for delivering such a high-quality experience. From the coaches providing strong, thoughtful training, to the social and photography team capturing great moments and content, everything was first class. Everyone was welcoming, prepared, and professional. It was easily one of the best sports camp experiences we have been part of. We truly appreciate it

Hi FTF, A massive thank you to you and your FTF team this past weekend at the Richmond Family Day tournament. Our team and staff were impressed by the experience.We really enjoyed the venues in Richmond and are already looking forward to returning next year.
FTF Tournament - Club Coach
Dear FTF crew, Thank you for a wonderful experience in the Top 60 event. What a fantastic tourney. From what started with Sofia entering the Toronto combine in January, winning MVP, to then All Stars, Vancouver and now Top 60, I can say that FTF has changed my daughter’s life. Having left the Western NY Flash family due to financial concerns at the end of March, Sofia was concerned that the college coaches would not find her in Canada. The opposite happened. More doors have opened, she has been SO inspired by the Canadian talent, I and I truly believe that FTF has put Canada soccer on a global stage. I don’t no where Sofia will land, but she is getting close and it was great for her to catch up with a few coaches here the last 2 days. From the professionalism of the recruitment teams videos, to well run combines, and all of the folks at FTF who make this so special. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hi FTF, I wanted to take the time to officially thank you for hosting great events that showcase Canadian talent. My son, Lawson Wilson, plays for OPDL Richmond Hill 08 U17 team. I’m the spring, he attended your spring showcase where Sam, from Select Generation invited him for tryouts in Spain. Lawson is currently working hard and is trying out right now in Salamanca, Spain. This past weekend, the team played their opening game and Lawson scored the first goal and had an assist. You can see his first goal in the link below. Final score was 6-0 for the U18 team. We are truly grateful for this opportunity and it’s all because FTF hosts amazing events. Have a great day!
