I am presently a player at IFSOE headed by the expertise and great soccer educator Mr Françios Glassman. What I have to say is pretty straight forward, easy to comprehend and directly to the point. Not only does the IFSOE Staff provide a professional training environment for significant development but with player’s studies and their development into young men and women of integrity, discipline, and diligence has been exemplary and IFSOE has been beneficiaries of that dedication. IFSOE has not only improved my soccer skills but IFSOE has made me a well-rounded person. Francois likes great footballer and also great people. For him it is not about the money, he genuinely cares about you and your future and IFSOE supports him 100%. I hope you end up taking this opportunity coming to IFSOE regardless how far you are in the GTA. I am on my way to playing Pro soccer through IFSOE, why not let your soccer dreams be fulfilled at IFSOE too.

Robert Arber

Arsenal F.C.

I just wanted to note how happy my two sons and I are with IFSOE and the fundamentals of the sport that they bring to the field every time. The boys and girls of IFSOE are exhausted and exhilarated at the end of every practice. They’ve provided sport structured programming that each player has shown incredible growth emotionally, socially, and physically. I knew the program was going to be a good, but IFSOE Management and Staff exceeded our already high expectations. The program is one of the best run and first to ever offer its kind of structured training and talents. IFSOE is attentive and supportive in every way lending to an environment that strictly encourages positive sportsmanship and most importantly individualized skill building.

Our experience at IFSOE has been outstanding. The program has offered my boys the highest level of training yet to be found anywhere. I am fascinated to see both my boys soccer skills excel immensely. At IFSOE, my kids learn important life skills like good sportsmanship, respect, teamwork all at the same time as becoming excellent players. The coaches are terrific and ever so passionate, and this attitude resonates through out the practice! My kids absolutely love going to their soccer training at IFSOE!

François Glasman aka Mr. Soccer, has been instrumental in not only helping my children develop physically, but also mentally. IFSOE has enriched the lives of our children in many ways so far. They have gained self-confidence, made new friends, learned the importance of teamwork, and improved their soccer skills. It’s been a lot of fun for not only the kids, but the parents, too. Even my sons say: Mr. Soccer is an excellent greatest coach we have had so far!

Adrian Capraru

Since training with IFSOE, my boys have improved their soccer skills through better ball touch and control. They really enjoy the disciplined training environment and are encouraged to push themselves to train harder each time. I would recommend IFSOE to anyone who is looking for great soccer training.

We were introduced to Francoises’ training program this past summer. After attending many classes, my sons ball handling ability has shown much improvement. His method of teaching truly helps each child improve at their own pace. We are very happy to have found Francois and have decided to train with the IFSOE program throughout the winter. Highly recommend the program.

Carlo Brentel

PARENT

My son started his training with François V. Glasman aka: Mister Soccer. François is a great educator. He teaches proper skill development, tactics and strategy and always setting proper expectations for players. He is dedicated in teaching players how to get to the highest level of soccer. François truly loves football and what he is doing. While that passion translates well to our children. François goes above and beyond his call of duty; he has been attending to my son’s club games on cold, wet rainy days. The development my son has made in the past months is unbelievable, and we know François’s training made the most significant contribution to that. In our short time with IFSOE, I am very pleased with what my son has learned. Training with Mister Soccer has clearly helped him focus and gain motivation. My son is a smarter player and has more confidence under pressure because of this training. The improvement in his foot skills and techniques at the games were evident to both us and his rep coaches. If you have a son or daughter that has a passion for playing football, I highly recommend IFSOE and François. His passion for teaching the sport of soccer is quite admirable.

We are proud and humbled by all of our players who practice at our training sessions and show qualities that should one day pay-off for Canada!

When I was growing up, you didn’t know there was a women’s national team.
Now girls grow up dreaming of playing for Canada.
