Black Watch Rhode Island, Nova SC, Fuller Hamlets and Crusaders United SC have officially formed Black Watch Alliance, which competes in the Super Y League, offer opportunities for both boys and girls ages 12-18.  For the first time, Rhode Island and Southern MA will have several top-level youth soccer clubs working together to provide the best opportunities available to the most deserving players.

        Black Watch Alliance will not take the place of the regular premier portion of the Nova, Hamlets or Crusaders United programs. Instead, this is an opportunity for their players to seek out additional playing and player identification opportunities. In order to make this the best experience possible for everyone involved (players, coaches & clubs), Black Watch Alliance will work together to ensure that there are no conflicts with the players’ current club schedule and to keep the cost as affordable as possible; these have been the biggest stumbling blocks for players wanting to participate in the Super Y League in the past.

        Nova SC, Fuller Hamlets and Crusaders United SC have been at the forefront of developing competitive soccer in New England for many years. Their professionalism, integrity and passion for the game are second to none. “The experience that Rick Skelly (Nova), Tim Dunn (Crusaders United), and Marc Bowden (Hamlets) bring to the table is impressive on its own, but then you add their outstanding coaching staff and the pool of quality players and this relationship quickly became a no-brainer - last year alone, they combined for 4 MA girls state titles and one (1) runner-up. I am very excited to work with these clubs, and I am confident that nobody will be able to match what Black Watch Alliance has to offer.” stated Scott Cannon, Director of Coaching Black Watch Premier - Rhode Island.
