NWU is known for being one of the best player development clubs within the state. This is demonstrated consistently by our continued success on the field and also measured by our style of play, results and well rounded technical players.

NWU has put heavy focus on our curriculum and building a top level professional coaching staff. With that, we have strived to create pathways and opportunities for all players within the club. Over the years we have attained club status in various elite programming with the club now participating in the ECNL-RL at the start of the 2025/26 season. We firmly believe and have proven to give any athlete the opportunities and path to attain their goals from playing in High school and a good club player to College, Professional and International level. All these paths give our players all the exposure, experience at the top level and competition needed.
