🎙️Parents: We are so glad we found SCA 3 years ago! 🙌🏽The supportive coaches and environment have been critical to Maddie’s development as a player. ⚽️Their emphasis on building confidence and letting players experiment and try new things has helped her make great progress while having fun and developing friendships!

🎙️ Maddie:SCA has provided so many great experiences and opportunities that I am so happy to have had! 🫶🏽 I love how all the coaches really care about the players and their development. SCA has always been a place where I know I can make mistakes and learn from them. The environment is so kind and that made me feel comfortable and allowed me to grow a lot. They have helped me become the player I am and I’m so glad that I chose to come play here! ⚡️🏟️⚡️
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.
