Youth Developement is as Important as Ever
Frank Perin – With the Canadian Soccer League’s announcement of expansion to Hamilton becoming official, the hard work for Croatia has begun. It has become more than just a soccer team. There is a need to become well respected in all aspects of the sport as an entire club – from our youth to adult levels.
“In addition to our CSL squad we are committed to the U21 reserves, our rep team program, and a newly formed house league. We are proud to offer our athletes the CSA/OSA’s complete Pyramid for Play. We believe that every soccer player in Hamilton now has the opportunity to excel,” said director of soccer operations, Allan Perin.
Children playing soccer now have another way of approaching their long-term goals. Croatia Hamilton’s executive board and the CSL coaching staff have realized this and have already begun preparing.
“With our extremely passionate fan base and the support of the local soccer community, we are very excited to be able to bring professional soccer to the city of Hamilton. Our club is determined to create a winning environment and provide opportunities for all soccer fans and players in Hamilton,” remarked Croatian Sports and Community Centre President Mark Vuksan.
Coach Ron Davidson added, “I am both excited and thrilled to be coaching the team as we enter our first season in the CSL, I have gotten to know the Hamilton Croatia organization over the past three years and we have the perfect ingredients to be very successful in the CSL.”
Joining Ron on the sidelines will be assistant coach Jason Allen, goalkeeper coach Ante Culina and team Manager Mike Radencic. “All three staff members will be a tremendous asset to this team as we move forward in this new direction,” said Davidson.
The Canadian Soccer League will kickoff its almost 5-month long regular season on May 7 through to the end of September, to be followed by the playoffs and the Championship final during October.
