The Portland Timbers Discovery Program
The Portland Timbers intend to lead the way with MLS Next soccer training in the region, providing an MLS youth training environment for local competitive soccer players.
The Portland Timbers Discovery has 2 training and players identification programs:
o Discovery Juniors.
Intended for players at the U9, 10, U11 & U12 age-groups.
o Discovery Seniors.
Intended for competitive players at the U13 & U14 age-groups.
The Discovery Program is a development focused supplemental training program that serves as an introduction for players to the Portland Timbers Player Pathway and strives to give every young player the best holistic training experience.
Both the Junior & Senior Discovery Programs are used for the Timbers Academy staff (U15, U16 & U18) to discover future professional players, but more importantly, for players to discover and develop their talent through game exploration, high level training, proven educational methods and top-level coaching.
