Enhanced Technical Training – Peterborough City Soccer Association

October – February

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. It is offered to players from U7 (b. 2019) to U14 (b. 2012). This is a stand-alone program; prior registration with PCSC or any other club is not a prerequisite.

The program runs on Wednesdays from 29 October 2025 until 25 February 2026 for a total of 14 sessions, 7 in the Fall program and 7 in the Winter program.

ETT takes place in the triple gym at St. Peter’s Secondary School on Medical Drive. Each session is for 55 minutes with the start time varying by age division. Players must wear non-marking indoor running shoes and shin guards. Cleats of any kind are not permitted. Please bring water bottles as our athletes work hard and go through a lot of water during the sessions.

, 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 PCSC 2006 Girls and have served in this role ever since. I am proud and honoured to give back to the PCSC 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 PCSC player development model.

Registration: PCSC uses the SportsEngine platform for player registration and payment. If you do not have an existing SportsEngine account you will be asked to create one prior to completing the registration form. If you registered for tryouts in September then you already have a SportsEngine account. You can use the same account for multiple player registrations at this or other clubs and you will use it for payments to the club when you sign up for one of the programs.
