Academy teams are normally selected from those players that are currently participating in our spring, summer, fall recreational league, and/or our U8 academy team.  The U9 academy team is a gender specific team that is selected over the summer.  This team will train once per week from November to July, and will also play regular friendly soccer games throughout the year.  This will include as many as fifty training sessions throughout the year.  This team may also participate in the Buffalo & Western New York Junior Soccer League over the summer. 

Player development is the philosophy of this program. Coaches place a strong emphasis on not only the development of soccer skills, but also the development of each player from a cognitive, social, and psychomotor standpoint. Locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills will also be developed, as players improve soccer skills.
