The academy used to run its program in Kallang since 2011 which-groomed many players like Janak Prakash, Rohan Ranga Rajan, Aryaman Uchil and Ansh Bhargava who are the product of SCA academy and are now the Pioneer players of Singapore national senior team.
These players came through a system which was well adopted and established through the junior development program.
