“To have 22 players involved from U13s right up to staying in the running for the Canada Games squads is a really positive sign for the CAPERS Academy as a whole.

“Next season will see CBFC play Tier One Nova Scotia Soccer League (NSSL) competitions at all age groups in the Academy which is a big challenge but one the club has to take on to keep growing.

“Our Provincial players are there through not only their ability but their coachability, humility and work ethic. We have exciting plans ahead to improve and enhance the Academy programs and we will stay focused on EVERY player and their journey.

“This recognition is also a reward for our loyal and dedicated coaching staff and they too should be proud of the role they have played. We should always take a moment to celebrate our successes - then keep pushing forward together.”
