Academy Schedule
The Greater Binghamton Footskills Academy opens up the week of November 7th. On Sunday November 6, 2011 at 5:00 p.m., GBFA would like to welcome you to our uniform pick-up and picture night (mandatory). This event will be held at The Dome. GBFA would like to personally thank you for signing your child up for the 2nd Annual Greater Binghamton Footskills Academy as well as inform parents of a new and exciting affiliation.
The Greater Binghamton Footskills Academy has formed an affiliation with Chris Riley’s ex-professional soccer team (Pittsburgh Riverhounds) and their youth developmental academy (Riverhounds Developmental Academy). More details will be discussed on Sunday…come find out what this means for your child. We look forward to an exciting academy year with your son/daughter.
Uniforms will be available for pick up on this night, so everyone will be able to wear this year’s uniform on the first night of academy. Also, waivers and payments will need to be taken care of this night. NO PLAYER WILL BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACADEMY WITHOUT A WAIVER SIGNED. Please make checks out to GBFA for either $300 or $150. We will be asking the players to put their uniforms on and take one entire group photo to thank our sponsors.
