Team Spotlight:
2012 & 2013
On April 21st our 2012 and 2013 boys teams travelled to Niagara Falls to participate in a tournament hosted by Niagara Football Club.
Both teams played a total of two matches, with some of their opponents including Borussia Dortmund Academy, Juventus Academy, and Dixie SC.
