What Parents Say About Alba FC
"My twin boys have been training with Alba Fc for several years now. They have developed both physically and mentally. This club is very family oriented, teaches skills of football, you can actually watch your child grow with every passing training, the kids all feel at home and there is a sense of camaraderie among kids and parents. Yet they still learn to be responsible, dedicated in passing the ball, learning new skills and playing. Winning almost all our contests is only an added bonus to the recreation. Thanks to all our coaches.”
