The Whitecaps Elite Futsal program is our Premiere Player Development Program. Open to players born in 2009-2012, it is geared towards players who are currently playing at the BCSPL Level or with future aspirations of playing at this level. The program serves as a complimentary player development program to a player's existing team commitments. Players will train once a week through the Fall with Whitecaps Okanagan Head Coach, Ariel Gitz, to further develop their technical and tactical ability.
For the Indoor segment, we use Futsal as our preferred playing format.
Players need an invitation or evaluation from Whitecaps Okanagan Head Coach, Ariel Gitz. To inquire about the evaluation/invitation process, please contact General Manager, Andrew Fleming, at gm@kelownacityfc.com.
Players in this program will be asked to purchase a Whitecaps Academy training kit before starting the program. Once registration is received we will send a link to order training shirts, shorts and socks (Mandatory). Whitecaps Tracksuits are available, but optional. If you had previously purchased the Whitecaps Training Kit, you do not need to purchase again.
If you have previously attend a Whitecaps Elite program, you can proceed with registration for the Winter program without contacting Ariel or Andrew.
