Senior Academy

Overview

The Senior Academy (U15-U19) is for players that are interested in playing high level competitive year round soccer. Players are required to tryout at the beginning of each year and selected players will be placed into our pool system for each age. Boys not selected in the ECNL Pool will be placed in a Senior Academy team for their age.

The Senior Academy will focus on all components of the game: technical, tactical, psychological, & physical. The training sessions are geared towards evolving the player's tactical understanding of the game and polishing the required skills to provide opportunities to play beyond club and high school soccer. The Senior Academy teams compete locally in Oregon leagues and cups. Teams will have the opportunity to compete in regional competitions and travel out of state for college showcases.
