Our holistic approach to development helps to achieve positive results both on and off the field for our players and families. In general, we offer multiple levels of teams within each age-group, allowing players to compete at an appropriate level for their skill-set.
The U15-U19 Program focuses on the development of individual players born 2010-2006. In general, we offer multiple levels of teams within each age-group, allowing players to compete at an appropriate level for their skill-set. Players have opportunities to travel out of state for tournaments, regionals and nationals, when applicable. Our quality, certified & licensed coaches provide players at all levels with the technical and life skills necessary to be successful in the game of soccer and their community with an emphasis on:
-

Preperation for High School and College Soccer
Competitive teams hold formal tryouts in early-May where players are evaluated by our coaching staff to assess player's skills, decision making and physiological/psychological aspects of their play. Players who are offered spots begin training with teams mid-May.
During the Summer, teams practice twice a week at Buckman Field and participate in local tournaments in June, July and August. Travel, including tournaments to Seattle and San Francisco, are offered throughout the year, but are optional. In the Fall, teams are on break from club training to participate in their High School's soccer programs (August - November). Teams return to PCU in late-November with training twice per week and the option to play in the PCU Winter Outdoor 7v7 League. Players participate in league games on weekends January, February and March & cup games in April, primarily in the Portland Metro Area.
