Nancy Radwan grew up in a soccer family, so when her two children Zein and Zakariya showed interest in playing the game, it was natural for her to support them in their journey.



There are several age-group teams making up Scrosoppi’s academy, as well as the 2025 Summer Camp which starts on July 7 and runs through to August 29. Please click here for more information and to sign up.

Zein and Zakariya are part of the U14 and U11 teams in the Scrosoppi academy, respectively, and we spoke to Nancy about how things are progressing.

Firstly, what made Zein and Zakariya want to join Scrosoppi?

It was the excitement of being part of a team and playing with friends. But over time, they grew to love the game itself.

As parents we wanted them to stay active, build confidence, and learn the value of teamwork in a fun and structured environment. Soccer offered a great balance of physical exercise and social interaction, and I knew it would help them develop discipline, resilience, and leadership skills over time.

Have you seen them progress in these aspects since starting at Scrosoppi?

I’ve seen great progress – not just in their soccer skills, but in their overall confidence and discipline. Technically, they’ve become more comfortable on the ball, more aware of the game, and better at making quick decisions under pressure.

What’s involved in the program to have this type of impact?

The program involves regular practices focused on developing players’ skills. It also includes physical fitness training, teamwork activities, and opportunities to apply what they learn through games.

What do Zein and Zakariya enjoy the most?

The excitement of gamedays, the bond with their team, and the feeling of progress after a tough practice. The club has become a place where they feel proud, focused, and inspired.

And as a parent, what are the things you value about Scrosoppi?

The coaching staff is dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly invested in helping each player grow to their full potential. I also appreciate the club’s structured approach, high standards, and positive environment. There’s a strong focus on teamwork, discipline, and respect.

What are your aspirations for your children while at Scrosoppi?

I want them to enjoy the journey – to build lasting friendships, learn the value of teamwork, and develop a strong work ethic that carries into all areas of life. Whether they pursue soccer competitively or recreationally in the future, I hope their time at Scrosoppi helps shape them into well-rounded, motivated, and respectful individuals.

I hope they remember the relationships they built, the challenges they overcame, and the confidence they gained through hard work and dedication.
