The Fury Men compete in the USL Premier Development League; a league comprising 64 clubs spanning North America from coast to coast. The PDL provides top US and Canadian players under 23 years of age with the opportunity to perform in a professionalized setting during the summer months while maintaining their collegiate eligibility. The League acts as a development league for players seeking to play in the professional ranks. The Fury joined the PDL in 2005 finishing 3rd in the division with a 9-7-0 record. Whle 2006 saw the team improve with a second place finish in the division 2007 proved to be a step backwards as the team dropped to a 3-8-5 record ending the season in seventh spot. Renewed optimism was injected into the Fury in 2008 when Stephen O'Kane took over the coaching reigned leading the club to a 9-4-3 record only to miss the post-season on a tie-breaker. Undaunted O'Kane followed that up with an undefeated season in 2009 that saw the Fury claim a 12-0-4 record, their first division title and their first-ever post-season berth. The team would fall short in the first-round of the playoffs falling 2-1 in extra time to Ocean City to end an impressive season. Carl Valetine took over as head coach in 2010 again leading the team to their second straight division title and another post-season appearance. After collecting the first-ever playoff victory with a 2-0 win over Newark, the Fury fell 3-2 to Reading United in the Conference Finals to end another season of 'what-ifs'. The Ottawa Fury PDL will kick-off its 7th season in 2011 looking to continue their persuit of a PDL Championship after posting such great success over the past three seasons. Over the past three years the Fury boast the third most points of any team in the PDL with an impressive 32-6-10 record behind 2010 PDL Finalists Thunder Bay Chill and Reading United AC. With the Fury Men having not lost a regular season game at home since 2007 (21-0-6) the attendance has grown dramatically and the Fury Pride is ever-present at all home games making the Algonquin College Soccer Complex one of the toughest venue's to visit in the PDL. With Carl Valentine depart for a post with the MLS' newest franchise the Vancouver Whitecaps, Steve Payne will take over the head coach duties and will immediately look to put his stamp on one of the PDL's fastest growing franchises.

The Fury Academy, launched in 2006, is a key component of the Ottawa Fury Soccer Club's Player Development Program. The Fury Academy provides young soccer players between the ages of 10 and 12, residing in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, with player development programming that is of the highest standard and quality. The Ottawa Fury's approach to player development relies on the same model used in leading soccer nations, which in recent years is also being adopted by progressive North American clubs - the model is based on providing a Player Development Pyramid internal to a club that includes youth, reserve and senior teams playing in national and/or continental leagues. 2011 will mark the 6th season of the Fury's Academy Program that has been taken to new heights each and every season. The Fury Acadmey (U10-U12) is staffed with knowledgeable and specialized coaches offering a comprehensive and integrated approach to player development. 2010 marked a very successful season for the program with Academy player Elliott Simmons signing with MK Dons Academy in England, teams travelled to London, England to participate in a Tottenham Hotspur Academy Residency experience and also travelled to France for the Plomelin Tournament.

First offered in the Fall and Winter of 2007, the Ottawa Fury Soccer Club School of Excellence Program is a key grassroots component in the Fury's comprehensive Player Development Program. The School of Excellence Program caters to 9 to 12 year old players who want to develop their soccer skills at the key development ages under the stewardship of some of the region's top coaches. Please note that the program will NOT have a competitive team or league component - players in the School will remain with their club teams. The School of Excellence Program is open to youth players aged 9-12 that are looking to continue to develop their skills. The idea behind the program is to ensure that players have as much contact with the ball as possible to aid in their touch, familiarity, control and confidence. The program is broken into two phases - Phase 1 is a 5-week program that is offered for FREE by the club and runs in the early fall. Phase 2, which is currently in progress, is a 15-week program that runs November-March that is offered in the East and West ends of the city.
