The Fury Youth Program, for elite players aged 14 through 17, adopts a player-centric development model to allow players to develop to their full potential and reach their goals of competing at the varsity, representative or professional levels.
Working within a professional environment, players will further develop their physical, technical, tactical and psychological skills and knowledge. Top-level competition through tournament, league and showcase play supports this development model.
The Fury plays in the USL Super Y-League, a North America wide league which pits some of the continents best youth players against each other in league play. The Fury fields teams in the North East Division and through success at the divisional level regularly qualifies teams for the North American Finals; five teams in 2008 alone.
In addition, players receive exposure through participation in prestigious, international events (e.g., Foyle Cup), continent-wide tournaments (e.g., US National Cup) and the highest level college showcases (e.g., Score at the Shore). In the past three years 36 youth players have been awarded athletic scholarships to play as student-athletes at US colleges - a number no other club in Canada can best! In addition, numerous (six in 2008) players have been selected for trials with leading professional teams such as Everton and West Ham United.
