The team was formally integrated into the professional league system to bridge the gap between youth football and the first team. Its history is defined by the development of future stars, with numerous players graduating to become key figures for AZ and the Dutch national team. The current squad is a collection of highly talented teenagers and young adults, playing the possession-based, attacking football synonymous with AZ's philosophy.
