What People Say
Mulan Ayliffe
Since my daughter started at Turf City we have been impressed immensely, over the years, by every aspect of the club. Importantly they treat my daughter as a footballer, not a girl football player.
The football coaching is first class and Coach Lali is a terrific mentor for everyone at the club with professional experience, both playing and coaching at the highest levels, which is evident from training sessions and matches. His combination of tough love and genuine care is exactly what is needed to push his teams to excel. His sense of humour shines through and the players really appreciate his enthusiasm, additionally his professionalism extends throughout the coaching team. But more than just football, TCFC represents a holistic school for young adults. From fitness and injury management, to diet and yoga, TCFC exposes the players to important facets of sport, including team-building and leadership,
TCFC understands its role of guardianship. I have been impressed how they reach out if they sense something is wrong, and put a metaphorical arm around the players is they have school exams or other external stresses. I would recommend Turf City FC to any parent who wants a good standard of football education for their children, but also wants them to be part of a sports club with all the benefits that brings.

Jasper Soo
“Jasper has been with the TCFC family and its feeder club since the age of 5. From the initial fun filled weekly kick-about and eventually graduating to the significantly more intense 4/5 times a week training sessions and weekly matches, he has also participated in the occasional tours and competitions home and abroad. Apart from the expected high level and professional approach to training and fitness and the focus on in-game intensity and technical proficiency at TCFC, his experience at the club has developed his character and demeanour; attributes such as passion, courage, determination, hard work and graft, independence, commitment, sacrifice, quiet confidence, perseverance, humility, discipline, camaraderie, teamwork and team spirit and the benefits of the collective. Coach Lalic and his team of dedicated, diligent and talented coaches have instilled and ingrained these virtues and qualities into his charges which moulds their outlook and personality in the face of the life’s challenges which awaits them. It’s the epitome of an education in one’s life’s lessons through his “football lens”!!!”

Johan Wagner
“Since our son has joined TCFC, its youth work has become a highly important impact in our child’s life. Basically, the coaches want to give all children the opportunity to develop through training, both athletically and personally, and to make the best of themselves. The football-specific training usually covers the tactical and technical area in particular, i.e. the verbal and non-verbal communication between the players and the football environment as well as the promotion of game intelligence plays an important role. The successes of TCFC’s past years are certainly based on hard work, passion, loyalty, responsibility and a great team spirit.”

Nils Vandersmissen
“Our oldest son Nils, born in 2007, has been playing with TCFC since 2019 (after having played with some other clubs before). Even though there have not been many opportunities to play games in Singapore in 2020 and 2021, TCFC has managed to keep Nils motivated to train individually and in (small) groups. In late 2021, Nils participated in two European football trips, successfully organized by the club.
Nils is also showing growing interest in keeping a good overall fitness level, and good health in general! Good developments for a 15-year-old!”

Aidan & Kai Potschull
“Having moved with our family to Singapore only in August 2021, one of the first & best decisions was to join Turf City Football Club. The mental & physical progress we have witnessed with our two boys (aged 10 & 12) in that short period of time has been remarkable. The calibre of the coaches is very high! Their commitment and passion for the game is felt by the players and the reason why the team is accelerating to a higher level.”

Eguzki, Gaizka & Aymerik Sebastian
“We are a Spanish-Japanese family that moved to Singapore in July of 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic. Eguzki (2006), Gaizka (2007) and Aymerik (2013) have always been passionate about football and having the opportunity to continue playing at a high level for TCFC has had a great effect on their physical and mental wellbeing. Also, Eguzki was able to join the most recent trip to Spain and had an amazing experience with regard to training sessions, matches against local teams and bonding with his teammates and coaches. Overall, TCFC has proved to be an oasis of pleasure and freedom for our three boys and I highly recommend it to any families seeking quality coaching and a friendly environment.”
Eva Sebastian (Eguzki, Gaizka & Aymerik’s mom)
Colin Lichte (CJ)
“We have been with Turf City for 7 years now and we couldn’t be happier. Our son’s journey started with Turf when he was 6 years old. The coaching staff has instilled a passion for the sport that will be with him forever. He has built strong relationships with his teammates. With tournaments in Vietnam, Thailand, Portugal, Germany and Spain he has memories that will last a lifetime. Most importantly he has grown as an individual learning that hard work will get the results you want.”
Saori Lichte (CJ’s mom)
Rayhan Zain
“TCFC has a passionate group of coaches who have worked hard to deal with ever-changing restrictions during COVID.
They have continued to motivate the players even though there have been no friendly or league match opportunities for the children. This is very commendable, and as a result, Rayhan has never lost his interest to attend training and make the most of the coaching being given. I can see that he has progressed well in many areas of his skills and fitness as a direct result of the club and coaches’ efforts!”
