The ECNL Boys Program (U13-U19) is for players most committed to soccer that are interested in competing at the highest level of club soccer locally, regionally and nationally. The ECNL Boys Program has two teams per age group, an ECNL and an ECNL Regional League team.
Players are required to tryout at the beginning of each year and selected players will be placed into the ECNL Pool for each age. Head coaches will make decisions on player placement on either the ECNL or ECNL RL teams throughout the summer to give players time for development and to earn their spots.
The ECNL and ECNL RL teams will compete in the ECNL & ECNL RL Far West Conferences which includes Oregon and Idaho clubs. ECNL teams will have mandatory national ECNL Showcase attendances and ECNL RL will have the option to attend ECNL RL Showcases. This will provide boys the best environment for development and preparation for playing post-club and high school.
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.

The Foundation Academy (U9 & U10) is the bridge connecting our Junior Academy (U7-U8) and our Development Academy (U11-U14). Players are required to tryout and selected players will be placed in the Foundation Academy.
These specific age groups are a critical learning age, and the Foundation Academy has been developed so that committed players can have access to year-round training where the basic fundamental skills are mastered. This program will give players the benefit of a competitive environment with a developmental mindset.
The Foundation Academy is the perfect place for recreational players that are looking to transition into club soccer. Foundation Academy teams will play in 8-game Fall and Spring seasons locally in the Portland Metro area.
The Junior Academy's (U7 & U8) goal is to focus on making the game fun for the kids while teaching them the fundamental (dribbling, passing, receiving) skills. We will introduce them to concepts and familiarize them with the game. Our end goal is to instill a passion for the beautiful game, so the kids are enjoying themselves, beginning to develop as players, and want to keep coming back because they love soccer.
The Junior Academy has four seasons (Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring) of 8 weeks. It includes two sessions per week: one practice and one game day. There is no year-long commitment, registration is done prior to each season.
