Wa Timbers High School Boys

Received an email about tryouts but no mention of kickarounds or coaches.

Does anyone know if any of the coaches have been assigned?

They usually do not announce it until right before. In some cases, they switched coaches on us after try-outs. Good luck finding out. They probably don't even know yet.

in most parts of the country you don't know who the coach is until after the tryouts. Players tryout to make a team.

New DoC probably doesn't even know which way is up yet. Coaches likely won't be finalized until after the spring HS season when the teams will actually start practicing.

In past years, WA Timbers have been good about having meet-the-coach kickaround sessions. This year might be different

Pacific FC will have their high school boys tryouts a few days before Timbers will. But I notice Pacific did not post who their coaches were either.

Some players DONT tryout when they find out who the coach will be.t

Pacific is holding their tryouts on the very first date allowed by WYS. Not sure why they care as their teams don't play in a WYS league anyway but... Looks like Pacific FC teams will be playing in the Puget Sound Premier League while WT_FC teams will play in the RCL.

massive coaching shortage in all of PDX. All clubs are having these issues.
If you look almost all clubs have their top coaches focusing on the younger ages.
The true top players are in the Timbers Academy by U14 now. The model has changed. Develop players for the Timbers DA. Whoever develops a program for the players that do not make the Timbers DA will be successful.

Next on the list.....Womens DA Program will be starting in less than a year

The TA Academy is a joke for the boys at U14 its about who knows who and who has money, They don't have the best players all its done is destroy the club scene.

Another bonus of being a TA team

Quite a bit of movement of coaches from WT_FC to Salmon Creek and Pacific. And lots of players going with them. Will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

Good movement for all parties. Most of the coaches that are moving will fit the philosophies of pacific and fcsc

You must not know what you are talking about. Academy is 500.00 and the academy just put out 10+ college players at top schools. The U14 academy already has players playing up on natonal teams.

Don't get academy confused with the money scam ecnl at fcp and Ossa is. There you pay 10k plus and development is an after thought.

Brett is good. But not sure why they hired a academy director with little to no coaching experience...
