Portland City United Soccer Club is excited to announce that our top U13-19 teams are joining the Girls Academy (GA) ASPIRE for the upcoming 2025/26 season! This is a prominent step forward for our club and players, offering our athletes increased exposure to college coaches, access to top-tier competition and participation in regional and national showcases.
See more information below from the Girls Academy:
“ASPIRE serves as a critical bridge between the GA’s top-tier league and the highly competitive landscape of elite youth soccer, establishing a structured path of performance-based advancement for clubs and players. The league offers a high-intensity competitive platform that challenges players to develop both technically and tactically while preparing them for collegiate opportunities. The GA’s mission is to create an environment that fosters growth, competition, and success, while its vision is to inspire a lifelong love of the game through high-level play, camaraderie, and showcase opportunities.”
Players and teams will have the opportunity to compete in Regional and National Showcases, offering increased exposure to college coaches and scouts. At the end of each season, ASPIRE will host a National Championship at each age level (U13-U19), allowing top teams to compete for national recognition while players gain meaningful development experiences on a large stage. A core feature of ASPIRE is its individual talent identification program, which will recognize top-performing players beyond team results. This initiative will allow the best players to receive opportunities they have earned.
