F.C. Portland Academy teams are formed through the open try-out system. Players try-out and are offered positions on a team if in the opinion of the coaching staff and evaluators the player meets the standard for our teams.

F.C. Portland is honored to be recognized as a Premier Club that is dedicated to and understands that the true value of long-term success comes through the development of both technical skills and team play over any individual game result. Attention to this philosophy is demonstrated immediately following try-outs.
