One, two or four sessions a week. Four sessions add up to about six hours of soccer weekly.
Westboro families often ask whether training in Kanata is realistic from inside the Greenbelt. Without traffic it is just over 20 minutes, almost all of it on Hwy 417.
About 21 minutes / 22.7 km from central Westboro to our training base on Rouncey Rd in Kanata, calculated with OSRM on OpenStreetMap data without traffic. Allow extra time at rush hour and in winter.
Get on Hwy 417 westbound at Kirkwood Avenue, exit at Terry Fox Drive and head south to Rouncey Rd. Weekday evening Queensway traffic can stretch this, so plan extra time.
From Richmond Road and Westboro Beach, the Kirkwood on-ramp is only a few minutes away.
Central Ottawa and Aylmer families join the same stretch of Hwy 417 westbound. Our carpooling guide has route groups and ground rules.
Sessions develop ball mastery, passing and receiving, shooting, defending, attacking and the confidence to play out from the back - with discipline, self-control and respect built in. About the academy
