Soccer is widely recognized as one of the most significant sporting events globally. The game thrives on early skill development, and Africa has faced challenges in this area, such as age cheating, a lack of proper football environments, and inadequate youth skill development. Tooro Rangers SC was founded to address these issues.
Tooro Rangers Sports Club is a grassroots organization dedicated to helping soccer players reach their full potential. We offer a variety of soccer programs and, with our strong foundations, also embrace netball, a reason for establishing our own Netball Club.
Founded in 2017 as the Fort Portal Taxi Operators Football Club, we aimed to promote and develop boys' football in the Tooro and Rwenzori regions. In 2023, we rebranded as Tooro Rangers Sports Club. As our motto states, “Diversity and Inclusion. Together Stronger. United as One.”
We believe in every individual's right to pursue their personal level of excellence. Tooro Rangers Sports Club strives to maintain excellence in all areas of the club.
We uphold fairness both on and off the field, built on principles of equality, integrity, and trust.
Our coaches and leaders are committed to teaching and instilling the values of the club. We believe youth participation in sports fosters leadership qualities.
We believe soccer should always be fun and enjoyable for everyone involved.
We value open communication and respect the views, roles, and contributions of all our members.
We are committed to creating opportunities for players of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities to participate in our programs.
Our Soccer Philosophy is to make the Players Believe that they can come from nothing to be Football role Models in Uganda, Africa and World at Large.
Long Term Player Development is the Primary objective of Tooro Rangers Sports Club. This development breaks down into four Components: Technical, Tactical, Physical, and Psychological.
Technical Growth: The individual ability to handle the ball consists of; dribbling, passing, receiving, shooting, heading, and goalkeeping. A solid Technical foundation increases the players’ ability to understand the Tactical aspects of the game.
Tactical Awareness: A player must understand when to apply the appropriate technique based on the demands placed upon them by their opponents. Tactical awareness is a player's understanding of a system of play or strategy. As a player progresses through age groups, Tactical play becomes a major component of Tooro Rangers SC Training.
Physical Ability: Soccer is a demanding Physical Sport, and each player will need to obtain a certain level of Fitness. A majority of this fitness training takes place in the Actual Training Exercises. Physical fitness determines a lot in the Game of Soccer. When players become physically tired, they become mentally tired. When they become mentally tired they can no longer perform the technical skills needed. When players lose their technical ability, their tactics disappear.
Psychological Understanding: How a player reacts to certain situations can either help or hurt the overall team effort. Our goal is to focus on the present. Soccer is a game of mistakes. This is how we learn. We will work to focus all of our Players energies in a positive manner, and on things they can control.
