The F.C. Portland Foundation Academy Program is the bridge connecting our Junior Academy (U7-U8) and our Competitive Program (U11-U18). Players are required to tryout and selected players will be placed in the Youth Academy Program (Y.A.P.). These specific age groups are a critical learning age, and the Foundation Academy Program 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.
