Under the guidance of dedicated coaches, the team has embraced rigorous training that emphasizes skill development, fitness, and teamwork.

Multiple players say their motive to continue playing soccer is due to their teammates.
They make the game enjoyable and this unity has not only translated into better performance during games but has also created lasting friendships among the players. They say some of their favorite moments in past seasons have been “Teambonding, team dinners and bus rides.”
