Since its inception, the OPFC Academy has strived to provide the best possible development environment for our players and coaches. Our dedicated top-class coaching staff, principles of play, and player-focused environment provide a platform for each individual to maximize their potential.
Our possession-based game model allows each player to develop on the ball. We believe that dominating and possessing the ball is key to developing a player’s ability to play to be creative and comfortable with the ball at their feet. Our principles of play are supported by our game model which provides a clear picture for our players to execute at the highest level in all 4 key moments of the game. For more information on our Game Model check out our OPFC DNA.

COMPETITION TIERS IN OREGON
Oregon Premier FC will continue to evaluate all available leagues and tiers of competition to determine which are best for the development of our players and coaches. In an effort to provide clarity to our membership in an ever-changing landscape of leagues and event offerings, we have created the above “Competition Pyramids.” Our club leadership maintains relationships with and an accurate understanding of the value of each of the tiers listed above - some of which we have chosen to participate in, others we have not.
Currently the OPFC Academy competes in the ECNL, ECNL-Regional League, and the Girls Academy League, ensuring our players have access to top-tier competition on a national stage. As part of the OPFC community, we are proud to participate in the most competitive leagues across North America. These partnerships allow us to provide our players with the best possible platform for development, exposure, and growth within the game.
