WHAT IS IT?
This program is intended for proficient youth soccer players. Our competitive teams play on a high technical level within regional and provincial leagues.
HOW DO I JOIN?
Our philosophy is to promote our own academy players through the ranks to the competitive stage; 95% of our competitive players have come up through our system (house-league –> development –> competitive Academy team) with the aid of our in-house scouts and coaching personnel. But from time-to-time we would hold try-outs if certain positions need to be filled. In order to join one of our Competitive Academy teams, the player must first submit a request to try-out or attend an open public try-out (we typically hold 2 annually- March & August if players are needed).
Please contact our Technical Coordinator, Ahmad Shihab, to book a try-out:
