BCPFA HIGH PERFORMANCE PROGRAM AND REGIONAL ACADAMY PROGRAM
BCPFA High Performance Program and Regional Academy is an off-season training opportunity for players interested in developing and enhancing football skills while working with coaches from different programs throughout the province.
The BCPFA identifies several teams each year to represent British Columbia in various competitions and championships. This is referred to as Team BC or the Provincial team.
Only players participating in a regional High Performance Centre (U16, U17, U18 or U19) or Regional Academy (U10, U12, U14) will be eligible for selection to teams representing the BCPFA. Additional fees apply.
