History
Vaughan FC was founded as Pro Stars Soccer Academy in 2014. The key philosophy for ProStars is to develop, teach and promote Academy and Professional soccer to all ages, in a safe and healthy environment. Integrated in this is the building of self-esteem, self-confidence, teamwork, respect for self and others, and the inherent benefits of physical exercise. [3][4][5]
Successes of the academy did not go unnoticed as a steady stream of players were invited to try-outs for professional soccer teams in Europe.[6]
