Our goal is to provide competitive playing opportunities for children who are enthusiastic about the game, who desire to develop skills to a higher level, and want to have fun while doing so with paid - certified/licensed coaches.
The program is aimed at the achievement of excellence, toward everyone playing their best, and further developing an appreciation for competition and sportsmanship. The U15 - U19 program focuses on the development of individual players and teams, with an emphasis on:
2020/21 SEASON TRYOUTS: We currently anticipate 2020/21 tryouts being held the week of July 6, 2020.
Pre-registering for tryouts is REQUIRED, as we will be creating cohorts of nine players to ensure proper return-to-play and social distancing procedures are followed. Our team will share these new policies with our members in the coming weeks including PPE requirements, revised practice schedules and pick-up/drop-off protocol.
Our coaches and administrators evaluate each player to determine if they are ready to play competitive soccer, assessing overall skill level, focus and the ability to participate as part of a team. Our goal is to place as many kids as possible that are ready for this level.
All of our competitive teams play in the OYSA Timbers and Thorns Leagues during the fall and spring. During the summer, our teams participate in local and regional tournaments.
Summer tournaments are offered in June, July and August. Winter League games start in mid January and run through mid March. Away games can involve travel outside of the Portland Metro area.Spring Cup games start in early April and run through early May. Away games can involve travel outside of the Portland Metro area. Players in 8th grade who are U15's will also play in Fall league games, which start after Labor Day and run through October.
All practices are held at the newly re-turfed Buckman Field, completed Summer 2020. See practice schedule for specific field locations.
