Welcome to Royal York FC, your specialized training and development club in the heart of Etobicoke. We bring top quality international coaching to even the youngest of all our players. We believe playing with the right fundamentals and skills from the beginning is an essential part of every player’s success.
Just because you are new to the game, doesn’t mean you settle for second best coaching. Our certified and professional coaches work with players as young as three years old building early confidence and proper soccer skills to establish a love for the game and a foundation for playing at a recreational or elite level.
Led by Leon Brown, a former professional player with over 8 years on the professional soccer circuit, our style of play is influenced by a focused technical approach. We believe there is a player in everyone and that our training and development philosophy helps each player develop to the best of their ability.
Whether you’ve never touched the ball, play at the park, on a school team or currently play at a competitive level, Royal York FC has a multitude of player development training programs. Our club caters to all players from specialized group and individual programs, to team play and pathways to varsity or professional levels.
Regardless of where you want to take your game, our goal is to meet friends, play well, and share the beautiful game.
Quite Simply. We’re possessed with football. At Royal York FC we pride ourselves on delivering first class training sessions resulting in match day excellence. Whatever your age or level of play, our philosophy is simple – we’re here to help you develop. We strive to deepen your love of the beautiful game using a skills-first approach. We cultivate a style of play that is athletic, fast and strong on ball control. We focus on the technical excellence that is the cornerstone of success for the world’s top football professionals. While we enjoy winning games, it will not be at the expense of true technical expertise. Our players do not “kick and chase” their ball down the field. Royal Yorkers are the team that consistently perform 3 and 4 pass moves, who are hard to get the ball from, and who understand that winning is an effort of both physical, mental and psychological proportions. With the best professional coaches from across the globe, we expect players to invest as much in their performance as we do in top quality training.
