With youth camps, high-performance training programs, elite coaching, and competitive Pro-Am teams, Scrosoppi Football Club is leading by example when it comes to providing a platform for those wanting to reach the top of their game. 

The route from youth soccer, through the Ontario Premier League, and to the professional game has proved fruitful with more than 350 players signing pro contracts after performing at OPL level since 2014.

Read on to learn more about the four important areas in Scrosoppi’s player pathway.

Recreational: House League and Saints Skills Academy

As part of the club’s recreational programs, House League offers fun and inclusive sessions, while still ensuring players are developing their overall abilities. The sessions aim to help with learning the basics of the game, alongside building confidence and developing a lifelong passion for soccer, all in a positive and supportive environment.

The Saints Skills Academy develops soccer skills through fun activities and drills, alongside professional training methodologies. With sessions run by our Head Technical Trainers, Luis Domingos, Zaavy Brown, Santos Ameen, and Sebastian Lopez, players of all abilities are challenged to ensure they make significant improvements in their skills. 

Competitive: Grassroots and Elite

Scrosoppi FC's elite youth programs are geared towards high-potential players who are seeking high-quality training, development and playing experiences. Players can expect to be coached in line with the top provincial, national, North American and international standards.

The Elite Grassroots Program runs from U4 to U12, and the Elite Competitive Program runs from U13 to U18. They provide a platform for young players to progress their game ahead of potential opportunities in college and university soccer, the Ontario Premier League, and beyond.

Teams train and play matches regularly, in addition to taking part in soccer tournaments, festivals and excursions. Video analysis will also be scheduled with teams to further aid their understanding of the game.

Pre-Professional: Ontario Premier League

Scrosoppi is a well-established club in the Ontario Premier League, having achieved lots of success in the Pro-Am game recently. The men’s side approach the 2026 season with twin aims of defending the League Cup and reclaiming the regular-season title they won two years ago, while the women’s team will compete in the OPL’s top women’s division for the first time.

The program, which includes first teams, second teams, and U20 squads, is led by highly experienced coach Patrice Gheisar. During his career, the 50-year-old has been instrumental in developing some of the top Canadian talents, including Dayne St. Claire, Kamal Miller, and Alistair Johnston.

Signings for SFC’s 2026 first team squads include some returning talent, OPL award-winning stars, and new faces bringing a variety of experience – from youth internationals to the Canadian Premier League, and soccer overseas. Meanwhile former Toronto FC youngster, Christian Pitt is an eye-catching for the U20 squad, having already been called up for Trinidad & Tobago at U17 level.

Scrosoppi are proud owners of SC Vianense in Portugal, and players in Milton have the opportunity to access coaching, scouts, and trials at the club. 

It’s a direct route to the professional game for high-potential Scrosoppi players, opening up the opportunity for players to secure their first professional contract and springboard their careers to the top level of the game. Marcus Channer and Matias Cortes are two players who have played for SFC and SCV.

This Portugal connection is in addition to SFC’s large network of contacts at the NCAA and professional game in North America, and provides an elite training environment for players right here in Milton.
