Calgary Foothills Junior Cup U12 Champions 2018
In BTB's first ever attendance at the Calgary Foothills Junior Cup, the U12 boys displayed tenacity and skill. They brought the BTB Way to Calgary and ended with a perfect record of 4 Wins, 0 Losses beating an excellent Scottish United side 3-0 in the final. Half of this roster was U11 players that were challenged by the BTB staff to play up.
Calgary Foothills Junior Cup U10 Champions 2018
The BTB Soccer Academy U10 boys also attended their first every Calgary Foothills Junior Cup. In an unorthodox fashion the U10 boys battled adversity to lift the trophy. Having lost their first match, this group stuck together and become one of the most exciting teams to watch in the tournament. A championship game (7-2 final) vs Victoria was arguably the match of the tournament.

U10 coach's Mike and Kondeh, along with U12 coache's Pius and Talal with the championship trophies. The smiles on their faces have little to do with those trophies and everything to do with the boys playing the BTB Way. High tempo, high intensity, lots of goals, skills, flair and above all unity as a team. The BTB Technical Director (Kondeh Mansary) was very pleased in saying "I think we have at least 5 future professional players within these two groups. We are happy that we won but even more happy that we played the right way, the BTB Way".
