2011 Gryphons
As the 2011 season approaches, this year's Gryphons teams are starting to take shape. Building on the success of last year with U21 Team winning OWSL South Region, the U17 team becoming North American Silver Medalists and the first year U16 team just getting edged out for a spot in the North American Finals, the Academy moves up and adds to the program. This year will see the U21 girls move up to the OWSL Provincial division. It will see our successful U16 team take on U17 challengers in the Super Y and the addition of our U16 team playing their first season in the Super Y.
2011 has already seen a number of U17 players commit to NCAA university programs with a number of additional commitments to occur both in the US and Canada over the coming weeks. Over the next few weeks as universities announce their additions on their sites, we will add their accomplishments on this site with links to keep tabs on them as they begin their university careers.
The Gryphon Academy history is short, but we would like to keep track of our history and accomplishments, to that end we have edited the tabs to include articles from club history and a college bound tab to keep a running record of the players who have moved to post secondary play.
