Academy: NYCFC 2003s Win IMG Cup

NYCFC took two City Select teams to the IMG Cup in Bradenton, Florida last weekend, both competing in the U14 Blue (2003) bracket.

For the 2003 selection, it was a winning weekend, as the team won all their games against Boynton Beach Knights, C2CFL Celtic FC and NEFC Boys, scoring nine goals and conceding just two in three matches.

Our younger 2004s also performed excellently, finishing in fifth place overall, thanks to one win and two defeats in their games against older opposition.

The team was competitive in all of the games, scoring at least one goal in each.

Michael Del Pra, Head Coach of the 2004 selection, told NYCFC.com: “This was a great opportunity for the coaching staff to work with players from the affiliates and other local clubs that we have been monitoring throughout the season.

“The younger group did an excellent job to cope with playing against older competition while improving their individual and group performances each game and maintaining our style of play.”

Everyone at NYCFC would like to congratulate the coaching staff and players for their achievements in Florida last weekend.
