"2017 has been an extremely successful year across all age groups. Our standards continue to be some of the highest in the country, with 2 coach of the year awards. On a team level, both Academy Teams made playoffs, with one team advancing to the Elite 8, and 5 teams representing the club at Regionals and Presidents Cup.

"I was extremely proud of the performance from the
U17 Hype and
U16 Union
teams who participated in the ECNL Champions League division in Chicago. It was a test of will and grit as the wind and playing surfaces played a major factor in each of the games.
Our
U16 Union
, coached by Trey Livingston, pulled off a victory on the first day over the #1 seed in the division. They finished 1-1-1 but were in contention for advancement on the last day and needed a larger margin a victory.
The U17 Hype, coached by Ashly Kennedy, went 1-1-1 in a group that we coined the 'Group of Death,' narrowly losing to last year's ECNL National Champions (PDA) and tying this years eventual national champions, the Michigan Hawks."
