TISS — A New Hope for Young Footballers in Tema

 


Tema International Soccer School (TISS) is quietly but steadily emerging as one of the most promising grassroots football institutions in Tema, Greater Accra. Founded to give young children access to structured football training, TISS has quickly earned a reputation for nurturing interest in the sport from the earliest ages.

The school’s philosophy centers around building strong foundational skills while fostering teamwork, discipline, and a love for the game. Recent social media posts showcasing under-5 training sessions highlight the academy’s commitment to starting young players early, teaching them basic ball control, coordination, and group play in a fun environment.

For many parents in Tema, TISS offers an alternative to unstructured street football or limited access to professional clubs. By combining coaching with life skills, the academy ensures children develop not only their physical abilities but also their confidence, focus, and social interaction.

Beyond basic training, TISS plans to expand its programs to include competitive matches, skill camps, and mentorship opportunities. Its presence fills a crucial gap in the local sports ecosystem — giving young Ghanaians a structured pathway from playground football to more competitive levels.

In a community passionate about football, TISS represents more than training; it’s a place where dreams begin, where children learn that hard work, persistence, and teamwork can take them far, both on and off the pitch.
