Built by a Player.
Built for the Game.

96FC is a training academy created by a player who loves the game and wants to share what he has learned throughout his career with the youth. Though the academy is new, the experience behind it is not. The goal is simple — to help every athlete develop into the best version of themselves, on and off the pitch.

Whether your athlete is just starting out or looking to take their game to the next level, our programs are designed to develop the whole player — technically, physically, and mentally.

Estevan Carles
Owner & Head Trainer Estevan Carles

Estevan spent two years competing in the OUA at the university level before heading overseas to play semi-professional football in England. Upon returning home, he went on to play three seasons in the OPL (formerly League 1 Ontario).

A brief professional stint in Iceland was cut short by injury, but after surgery Estevan returned to make further professional appearances in Major League Indoor Soccer. He is now back in Orillia finishing his degree at Lakehead University, entering his second OCAA season and was recently named captain of the Thunderwolves for the upcoming year.

Every level of the game has shaped how Estevan coaches. That experience is what he brings to every 96FC session.
