It was a daunting task for the SCA academy to compete in any tournament at the junior level. After the closure of its academy in 2017 due to Kallang ground taken back by Sports SG. SCA Academy started its program right from scratch in 2019.
SCA Academy had to face many hurdles in terms of ground, logistic and lack of quality coaches due to discontinuation. It stood firm and its panel of coaches work hard to get back on track.
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.
