Spring Soccer Programs

A number of parents have asked about spring soccer programs. There are really only two options - Gorge Spring league or World Cups Academy.

The Gorge Spring league is games only at Hampton and Tyndall turf fields between April and end of June. Teams play Super 8 on half-field. Cost is usually around $90. Doug and I are not entering a U12 team in GSL this year due to other soccer commitments but I understand that several players from Tom's team are entering a team and they are looking for players.

World Cups are offering their U12 spring academy team. The academy team is selected by Brett & Steph and will play full field (eleven-a-side). The emphasis is on technical development but there are 5-6 games as well as a tournament in Bellingham, WA in late June. Practices are twice a week + games and the academy starts in mid-April and runs until the end of June. Cost is $500 and includes a uniform and training gear but does not include travel costs (food, ferry, hotel).

If you would like to discuss in more detail please feel free to give me a call or email, or ask me at training on a Monday or Wednesday evening.
