Team Philosophy

As coaches, trainers and parents we play a pivotal role in our childrens’ development both as a player and as a person. Immediate/competitive results are not at the top of our list; instead we want our kids to have fun playing and develop their own love for the game. What we provide now will be a part of their continued growth for years to come.

Our History

The Cyclones travel team was established in 2008 as a rising U9 boys team. The Cyclones travel team was established in 2008 as a rising U9 boys team. The roots of this program goes back to the early years of the SYC house soccer program.
