| The Fury Development Program is an elite-level soccer program which offers comprehensive development opportunities for boys and girls from ages U10 through U19, which are not currently available through local community club programs.
The Fury Youth Program, for elite players aged 13 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 at the U13 - U17 age groups in the North East Division and through success at the divisional level regularly qualifies teams for the North American Finals; five teams in 2009 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 six years over 60 youth players have been awarded athletic scholarships to play as student-athletes at US colleges - a number no other club in Canada can best! Fury youth players like Christina Julien and Gina Pacheco have become regular members of the Canadian National teams while others such as Ed Edward (FC Dallas) and Mahir Hadziresic (FC Mlada Boleslav) have gone on to play professionally.
The Fury Youth program acts as a feeder program for the Fury's senior teams which play in the USL W-League and Premier Development League.
