January 16, 2017 - Congratulations to Kailen Sheridan on being selected 23rd overall in the 2017 NWSL Draft which took place January 12, 2017.

Sky Blue FC has a KEEPER!

Our Girl's Academy Manager Rich Hirst was fortunate enough to attend the NWSL Draft in Los Angeles to support Kailen on this incredible step into professional soccer.

Coach Rich says "It has been a pleasure watching Kailen's development since she was 10 years old playing for Ajax United SC.  It was an honour to have the 4 year opportunity to train her as a youth player.  With all of the training, she never did suit up for any of my teams in games.  There was no doubt in my mind that Kailen would reach this, as she has always been driven to compete in training and reach her goals.  Athletes like Kailen just have a different mentality."
