Youth development

The Academy

“Where Dreams Take The Field” — our academy turns that promise into weekly coaching for every child in the district.

Overview

A Real Pathway

The FC Silver Hill Academy welcomes boys and girls from age six. Sessions are led by licensed coaches and built around technique, game understanding and character.

Players who progress are invited to train with the U17 squad and, in time, the senior teams. No child is turned away from the academy because of cost — assistance is available on request.
