Come Play at SCA

A part of history, we are excited to join MLS NEXT’s new competition tier this fall!

The Individual is the Syllabus

With its shared set of principles regarding development, the SCA development team places the player at the center and permits them to follow a non-traditional pathway.

Playing Time

SCA coaches take a patient approach and do not make playing time decisions based on age, size, and maturation bias. Instead, we invest in each individual.

Games Programs

We provide a unique games program that challenges conventional approaches to field size, single-gendered teams, and age groupings.

SCA INTERNATIONAL REACH

With its unique ties to its home club in North London, Portland-based SCA players have opportunities to travel abroad and connect closely with players in the UK.

SCA – Parent Connection

At SCA, we recognize that in order to impact a culture, parents also need to be a part of the process. We are committed to a strong parent-club relationship.

SCA Coaching Experience

SCA seeks coaches with high emotional intelligence who have traits of open-mindedness, empathy, self-reflection, curiosity, and courage.
