Our Youth Academy (U9/U10) is designed to get young players quality coaching and implement 3RSC’s curriculum of technical and tactical (small sided) concepts to players so that they are prepared to transition into District soccer (U11) and potentially to Regional Club League soccer (U13+) down the road.
The Youth Academy teams play in the Central Washington Development League, administered by Washington Premier League. Teams from this league come from Central and Southeastern Washington (Yakima, Ellensburg, Moses Lake, Walla Walla, etc.). Half your games will be home, half your games will be away. Some of the “away” games will also be here in Tri-Cities against local teams, so travel is minimal throughout the year.
Teams play 8-10 games in the fall and 6 games in the spring. Typical season length is 2nd weekend of September through 1st weekend of November for the fall season, and late March through early May for the spring season.
This league features no overnight stay for league games, and usually 1-2 summer tournaments. Although most games are played on Saturdays, some Sunday games may be necessary.
Teams in our Academy Program are formed via tryouts in late spring for the following fall/spring soccer year. Players who are selected for our Academy program are placed on a team with players with relatively similar skill level, and that team is placed in a Development League division with similar opponents.
