FC Buffalo Youth Academy

Development First

“Teams don’t learn. Individuals within the team learn. Development is a personal process even when conducted in a team environment.”

-Johann Cruyff: Former Dutch International Player and Manager, 3x Ballon d’Or Winner

The FC Buffalo Youth Academy is specifically designed and focused to positively impact the development of youth in our community by providing soccer and life-enriching opportunities to young players of all ages and playing abilities, to create a lifelong passion for the sport of soccer, through competitive teams and training programs.

Our ultimate goal as a Club is to create and maintain an environment that nurtures players to reach their highest desired levels within the game and in life. This is a Pathway to Pro – but not just professional soccer – it is a pathway to being a pro in life where our players develop and grow to become men and women for others who have found joy and fulfillment in their growth and journey as players.

We PREPARE THE PLAYERS FOR THE PATH, we do not prepare the path for the players.
