26 Years of Professional Coaching in Ottawa
World Soccer Academy (WSA) is dedicated to helping young players develop their soccer skills in a fun and challenging environment. Whether your child is just starting out or has been playing for a few years, we can help develop and improve their skills and build their confidence with the ball.
WSA was founded in 1998 and it is the oldest soccer academy in Ottawa. During that period, thousands of young children have played the beautiful game with us. Unique among Ottawa soccer programs with professional coaches, WSA has focused on recreational players, teaching them foundational techniques and how to play the game creatively.
No other coach working with players at this recreational level has the playing and coaching background, or the soccer education, of academy director Zijo Nistovic.
Our greatest accomplishment is the smiling faces after every session, the enjoyment of parents watching their child learn, and the many players who return year after the year.
We have achieved that through the work of dedicated coaches, many just starting on their coaching path, and the support of parents and the local community.
