U11 & U10 Play-up Program Overview

Spokane Sounders U11 Premier/U10 Play-up Soccer

Coaching
Spokane Sounders U11 and U10 play-up teams compete in  INW Copa League (US Club). At this age, we still play 9v9 and keep our top players playing with their local teammates in the Valley, North and South.  At U13, when we fully integrate the Valley, North and South teams, we leave local league in search of a more competitive environment through the Regional Club League.
Our focus is on the developement of the complete player and the training environment and integration of club philosophy is our highest priority at this level.  These features separate our club from others in the Greater Spokane area at this age.

We have an “open” practice policy.  For players who desire more training, they are welcome to attend other Premier/RCL team practices.
Player Expectations
Spokane Sounders Premier brings with it an expectation that the players really want to play soccer and be around others that share this desire. Players who like competing and want to be challenged to be better by their teammates and their coaches will find a perfect fit in Spokane Sounders Premier.
