The program focuses on player development - giving players the best instruction and environment to progress their skills.

Players attend training 2 times per week with the club trainers in a program directed by the Director of Coaching of Academy. The program is specific for the age and developmental level of the players and allows players to progress at their own rate. Players practice with academy players and are trained by the club training staff. They play on an academy teams (academy players do not play on a recreational team).
