Competition & Training Calendar

Summer
All Teams
Summer Academy training takes place three times per week through the months of June, July, and early August to provide approximately 24 sessions. Training days are usually set for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings in Corvallis, and afternoons and evenings in Eugene. Friday training sessions are scheduled around the summer tournament schedule whenever possible. Depending on player availability we try to schedule 2 or 3 summer training tournaments for each of our teams. (Summer tournaments are not scheduled for newly formed FC Willamette Teams. Players on newly formed FC Willamette teams are encouraged to fulfill tournament commitments with existing teams or to guest with summer tournament teams.)
