U11-U14 | Portland City United Soccer Club

Competitive U11-U14 Program

Our U11–U14 program serves players born 2015–2012 and is centered on continued development—both as athletes and as individuals. During these important years, players build deeper technical ability, expand their tactical understanding, and grow in confidence within a competitive team environment.

Led by quality, certified, and licensed coaches, our program equips players at every level with the technical tools and life skills needed to succeed on the field and positively impact their community. We offer multiple team levels within each age group to ensure players are competing in an environment that appropriately challenges and supports their growth. Players may also have opportunities to travel out of state for tournaments, regional competitions and national events when applicable—experiences that broaden their perspective and elevate their level of play.
