The Fury W-League Reserve Program addresses the transition from the Entry-level U17s to the Fury W-League team. It provides an opportunity for post-youth level players to train and compete, together with other serious, dedicated athletes.
The Reserve program builds on the Varsity programs which the Fury ran in the summer of 2008, when the club fielded a team in the OCSL Women's Premier League in conjunction with the Ottawa Falcons.
