Where do our Development Academy teams play?
For the 2023 fall season, the majority of our Development Academy (DA) teams will play in the Peninsula League with member clubs from Bremerton, Poulsbo, Tracyton, South Kitsap, and Sequim. At the younger ages, we believe in limiting travel to reasonable levels, whilst at the same time providing a competitive environment to ensure our DA teams challenge and grow.
The one exception to this will be our Boys 2014 Blue team who will need the extra challenge and compete in the North Puget Sound League Division 1. This league will require travel within the travel Seattle area. All teams will play 5 games at home and 5 games away.
Development Academy
Bainbridge Island FC Development Academy is a unique program competing in a competitive (select) level league and tournament format. a competitive level environment, we host open registration for all
8-9-year old 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 8-9-year old who would
like to be part of the program.
Our philosophy is a simple one: we want to develop players who have fostered a love for the game!
