Congratulations Lily!!!

LIGHTNING LILYANA: Lilyana Griffin wants to be the best, and in some ways, she already is on the top. She's broken multiple school and meet records for the Bison, and even competed at USA Track & Field Junior Olympics last summer. The Shaker freshman has quickly established herself as a top runner in Section 2.

Congratulations girls and Coach Darling!

Talent across the pitch. 🌟

Congratulations to this week’s UPSL Women Western NY Team of the Week selections after another strong round of performances across the conference. From standout attacking displays to key defensive performances and big saves between the posts, these players made their impact felt all weekend long. 👏⚽️

Today we honor the brave men and women who gave everything so our kids can lace up their cleats, chase a ball, and dream freely 🇺🇸

To the families who carry that weight every day — thank you. We remember with you 🇺🇸

GAMEDAY. We didn’t come to participate. We came to compete.

Three tournaments. Multiple states. Alleycats everywhere this weekend, all wearing the same crest, all chasing the same thing. From the first whistle to the final one, we play one way: hard, together, and for each other.

Whatever field you’re on today, represent. Do your job. Let’s go, cats 🔥

Show Up Saturday!

Tournaments aren’t won on day one. They’re won by the team that comes back hungrier, sharper, and more locked in than anyone expected. You’ve done the work. Show them who the Cats are! Leave it all out on the field!

Play for the girl next to you. Play for the crest on your chest. Let’s go, cats!!

There’s a reason so many players and families are choosing our pathway.

We’ve built an environment centered on development, competition, and opportunity at every level. From ECNL RL to NPL and UPSL, our girls program provides a complete pathway for athletes to grow, compete, and reach their goals.

As the only ECNL girls pathway in the area, we’re proud to offer opportunities that challenge players and prepare them for the next level, while continuing to raise the standard year after year.

Our success comes from the culture we’ve built, the coaches who invest in our players, and the families who believe in what we’re creating together.

Tryouts are open: June 16, 18, 23. Link in bio.

No one outworks our girls! Despite the 90-degree heat this week, our players pushed through every session to prepare for three major events: the PDA Girls Showcase, FC DELCO Players Cup, and the FC Dutchmen Memorial Day Tournament.

Unmatched work ethic. Good luck to all our teams competing this weekend! 🙌⚽

You smell that? That’s not summer in the air — that’s full club assault season. 😤

Starting tomorrow. Sixteen teams. Sixty-five games. Three tournaments. One holiday weekend.

We’re not asking for time slots. We’re not waiting our turn. We’re showing up to every field, every showcase, every cup — and we’re not coming home quiet.

🏆 PDA Girls Memorial Showcase
🏆 FC Delco Players Cup
🏆 FC Dutchmen Surf Memorial Day Invitational

From the Lil Cats to the ’08s — when one of us rolls out, we ALL roll out. Six states. Four days. Sixty-five chances to remind everyone who we are.

The work was done in February. This weekend is the receipts.

Buckle up.
