For more than 30 years, the club's young guns and some of their parents have given their time throughout Gold Cup day and the morning after to pick-up rubbish.
It's their biggest annual fundraiser, with the money raised to go towards a trip to America in June.
“I think we've been doing this for something like 30 years, every year it's an important part of their development,” the academy's Mercedes Goss said.
“We actually talk to them a lot about community service, being a part of something that's bigger than they are.
“It builds good character and shows we're fundraising together for the club as well as themselves.”
The club's four-week tour of the United States will include three tournaments for the players, as well as tours of universities.
Some money also goes towards juniors.
