The 2015 Showcase Provincial Selects Program is taking to the fields in Vancouver for the Pacific Challenge Series. From July 13th to 19th, players from around the province will compete against other U13 to U14 male and female teams from the western provinces. As part of the T2T stages 1 and 2 teams, players will be provided an opportunity to experience a high performance competitive environment, all the while developing their individual needs.
In collaboration with the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA), the event is being hosted by BC Soccer and the University of British Columbia (UBC). Players will also have the opportunity to check out the July 15th Whitecaps FC2 game, a team that has some local talent to celebrate. Saskatoon’s own Brett Levis currently has two goals and two assists for the 2015 season with the WFC2.
