The High School Premier Academy is the final phase in the pyramid before a player moves on from their youth soccer journey. Competitive soccer during high school is for focused, highly motivated players who want to continue to pursue training and competition in addition to their high school's soccer season.

Players selected for these competitive teams will be asked for a high level of effort and commitment. Travel is required for away games and tournaments throughout the year, including the winter months. National travel to college showcases is available with many teams.

Members of a High School Premier Academy team typically play for their respective high school's soccer program during the fall, so club training is suspended during this period.

Uniforms are on a two-year cycle. The 2025-2026 season is the second year of a new cycle. Players will not need to purchase new kits for the 2025-2026 season unless they are new to the club.

Because the U15 age ground typically includes a mix of eighth graders and high-school freshman, those players who don't participate on their respective high school's soccer team are offered an opportunity for fall training with Bend FC, for a minimal fee.

As a member of a Bend FC High School Premier Academy team, players will be expected to participate in: 

• OYSA League (or comparable) games. Travel is required, including during the winter months. Girls Premier teams will play in GA Aspire league
• An OYSA Founders, Presidents, or State Cup tournament
• The Bend Premier Cup, hosted by Bend FC in July each year
• Summer tournaments assigned by the DOC (tournament registration costs included in player fees). 2025 Summer Tournament Schedule
