THUSC U11-U14 PREMIER COMPETITIVE
The continuation of the foundations built in the THUSC Junior Academy, our U11-U14 Premier Competitive program offers the serious soccer player the opportunity to continue to advance their skills and understanding of the game as a year-round team member. Our primary goal in working with players in these age groups is continuing to develop and build upon the individual player's technical development and proficiency in a number of skills, and bringing in additional tactical understanding in team play, and crucially, continuing to build the player's love and enjoyment of the game as a player and spectator.
At these specific ages, we aim to minimize focus on team outcomes--choosing to prepare our players for future success by focusing on the individual outcomes within their control--contributing to team success.

When are scheduled club-wide breaks?
THUSC generally follows Beaverton School District's calendar for club breaks during the school year. Coaches are given some discretion to change this schedule on a team-by-team basis. If a team needs to prepare for an upcoming competition or tournament, coaches may decide to train during a club-wide break.
- Memorial Day
- July 4th - typically the full week is off
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving - full week off or possibly Wed-Fri
- Winter Break - follows BSD schedule (training break, but futsal league overlaps)
- Spring Break - follows BSD schedule
