Testimonial

K.K., U10 | 4th year player
Since joining this academy, I’ve come to love soccer even more. The coaches are kind and make every practice enjoyable, so I always look forward to training. They are not only friendly but also strict when needed, which helps me clearly understand my weaknesses and what I need to improve. Through the training, I’ve noticed my skills, such as ball control and shooting, gradually improving. I really enjoy practicing with the coaches and my teammates, and it motivates me to keep working hard and become a better player |
T.N., U14 | 1st year player
I had never played sports before moving to Canada, and starting soccer at Joyous was a brand new challenge for me. At first, I didn't even know how to kick a ball and struggled to keep up with the pace, which was tough. |
