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.
“The tournament was a great experience for both of our groups, especially for the U-11’s playing the 9v9 format for the first time” says Samuel Gyeke-Amoako, our Club Technical Director.

Chaitanya is a toy engineer at Spin Master, as well as a photography enthusiast since 2011. Growing up in Oakville, Chaitanya participated in many sports as a child, including soccer and baseball. During his final season of baseball, a father of his teammate acted as a volunteer photographer for the team.
