Enhanced Technical Training – Peterborough City Soccer Association

November 2024 – February 2025

PCSA is excited to announce that the popular Enhanced Technical Training (ETT) program is back for another year. This program is open to players from U7 (2018) up to U14 (2011).

Presented by our Technical Coaching Team, the program focuses on fundamental soccer skills (first touch, passing, receiving, dribbling and shooting), gives you lots of touches on the ball and provides opportunities for development that are in addition to your regular team training.

The program runs on Mondays from 4 November 2024 until 24 February 2025 for a total of 14 sessions, 7 in the Fall program and 7 in the Winter program.

*Please note that the Fall Series is full and no further registrations can be accepted. Registration remains open for the Winter Series for all divisions, but you are advised to register soon.

ETT takes place in the triple gym at St. Peter’s Secondary School on Medical Drive. Each session is for 55 minutes. Attendees are asked to leave the facility promptly at 5 minutes before the hour to make room for the next group. Players must wear non-marking indoor running shoes and shin guards. Cleats of any kind are not permitted.

, Angela Gaskell

After playing 4 years of varsity soccer at the University of Waterloo, I was appointed as Assistant Coach and served in that role for three seasons. In 2013, I became the Head Coach of the PCSA 2006 Girls and have served in this role ever since. I am proud and honoured to give back to the PCSA as this is where I played competitive soccer from the age of 11, right through to captaining the Senior Women’s team.
I have recently become C-License trained and look forward to completing this full certification in 2022.

, Evan McLeod, Enoka Kawuma, Rick Orton.

Leanne and the rest of the coaching team bring with them a broad range of coaching experience and have played the game at an advanced level. They are fully conversant with and committed to the Ontario Soccer and PCSA player development model.
