It may not be great sums of money but these clubs are still doing bottle drives and the like so it all helps.

There really havent been that many opportunities for teens in Calgary. MLS and NASL clubs tend to sign players developed in their own youth systems. If you're not scouted by one of them, where do you go? Not sure if the new USL clubs starting up will change that.
