Milltown FC Talent Search
Milltown FC, the newest member club of the Canadian Soccer League has set March 27 and March 28, 2010 as the official dates for its first Open Tryout Camp.
Milltown’s First Season tryouts will be held each day on the new turf at Bishop Reding Secondary School in Milton, Ontario.
“We will use these open tryouts to identify players who will be part of our organization either with the first or reserve teams for the 2010 Season”, said Milltown FC’s Director of Soccer Operations and Head Coach, Rafael Carbajal.
“Our operating philosophy is Discipline, Respect and Hard Work and we are looking for players who are not only talented soccer players but who also possess the necessary level of professionalism, dedication and commitment that we value in our organization.”
Milltown FC is primarily seeking players aged 18 years and up. However, younger players will be given every opportunity to compete for a spot with the First Team or Reserve squad if they can show that they have what it takes to play at this level.
The top players at these Tryout sessions will be invited to join Milltown FC at its inaugural Training Camp, which will kick off the week of April 5, 2010.
All players interested in taking part in this tryout camp must pre-register online by March 24, 2010. Each tryout candidate will be required to pay a $20 registration fee to participate and will receive a free T-Shirt.
Further details regarding these tryouts will be posted on the club’s website in the lead up to the March 27-28 weekend. Soccer fans who are interested in information about Milltown FC should visit the Milltown FC website for the latest information about season tickets/club memberships, tryouts, important team updates and more.
It Will Be A Memorable Year In Canadian Soccer

A big year ahead for Canadian soccer
It’s OK to jump on football’s bandwagon in a World Cup year. If you want to drive around with a flag of choice adorning your vehicle, honking your horn in pride and celebration, I have no problem with that (on the understanding you don’t honk outside my house at two in the morning or behind me at a red light). It will be a memorable year, not only in South Africa, but also in our own backyard.
The light will shine brightest for a month in places like Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town where the world’s finest players will showcase their dazzling talents. The global festival will attract hundreds of thousands of fans and millions of dollars and after it’s over we can all rest our ears when the incessant buzz of vuvuzelas no longer fills the living room.
A world away from the World Cup, it will also be a year to remember in Canadian soccer. New teams, new coaches and a new attitude will all spring to mind when we reminisce about 2010.
CSL Grows To 13
CSL launches teams in Hamilton, Brantford and Milton for 2010 season
TORONTO, ON — The Canadian Soccer League will kickoff the 2010 season early May with three new teams in its First Division, all representing communities just west of Toronto.
Hamilton Croatia, Brantford Galaxy and Milltown FC – which represents the town of Milton just west of Mississauga – will boost the CSL’s teams to 13 in a single top division.
The teams will each play 24 games in an almost six-month long campaign from early May to the playoffs late October.
The Hamilton Croatia entry was announced by the league on February 4 and the Brantford Galaxy and Milltown FC memberships were finalized last weekend.
The City of Brantford has been in the spotlight for many years with its favourite son, Wayne Gretzky, and it will be the first time the community has ventured into professional soccer.
“We’re here because we’ve seen an opportunity for soccer to grow and because of the new direction of the CSL,” Gerry Crnic, one of the principals of the new team along with president Bosko Borjan, told the Brant News.
The team is situated between Hamilton and London in the heart of southwestern Ontario, known to produce an abundance of youth players with the talent and skills for a higher level.
“Our ownership group is very excited to bring exciting Canadian Soccer League action to Milton. This fast growing and incredibly dynamic community will be the ideal home for our club”, said Dino Rossi Jr, president of Milltown FC.
