THORNS RISING

Portland Thorns Academy Discovery Program (U8–U10)

ABOUT

The Portland Thorns Academy Discovery Program (U8–U10) is designed to identify, train, and develop young female soccer players who aspire to progress to the next levels, from the Pre-ECNL Academy to the ECNL Academy and ultimately the Thorns professional team.

The program emphasizes technical skill, ball mastery, and speed of play while allowing players to continue competing with their current club teams.
