Bainbridge Island FC Development Academy is a unique program in a competitive (select) level league and tournament format. a competitive level environment, we host open registration for all 8- to 9-year-olds who would like to be part of the program.
Rather than hold tryouts, where 8-9-year old are told if they are good enough or not to participate in a competitive (select) level
environment, we host open registration for all 8- to 9-year-olds who would like to be part of the program.
In 2023 in partnership with North Puget Sound League (NPSL) we introduced the Peninsula League which enables our Development Academy teams to play all our games on the Olympic Peninsula against Central Kitsap, Tracyton, Sequim, and North Kitsap soccer clubs. Ensuring an appropriate level of competition but also keeping travel at a reasonable level for our U10 players as much as possible.
Our philosophy is a simple one: we want to develop players who have fostered a love for the game!
