On the first day of the new competitive year for the USSF Development Academy, each of the F.C. Portland coaches who evaluated over 50 players for 40 spots on the U15/16 and U17/18 teams commented on the strength of the competition.

• Committed to practicing 3 times each week
• Committed to playing in 29 or 30 highly competitive games
• Willing to compete with best players from around the country
• Willing to be scouted by the US National Team Coaches

“If there was another program in this country that gave players this much quality competition over the past ten years, none of us have seen it!” said Rob Baarts, Head Coach for the Men’s Division at F.C. Portland Academy and Director of the Development Academy Program, and Assistant Coach for the Men’s team at the University of Portland.
“What our players saw day in and day out – the level of competition, the intensity of play and skillfulness of opposing teams – has helped each and every player who committed to this program get better in quantum ways.” Baarts continued. “For those players who truly want to prepare for their college careers and expand their options on the largest youth soccer stage in this country, this will continue be the program.”
