Current Programs

Open Training is Rain City’s weekly player development program for boys and girls from approximately U8 to U16 who want a high-quality training environment with strong coaching, clear expectations, and consistent technical development.

Players train in small groups organized by age, ability, and overall fit. Sessions focus on ball mastery, technical detail, decision-making, confidence, and game understanding.

Our fall-to-spring training year is organized into four 8-week registration blocks:

Block 1: September 28, 2026 – November 22, 2026

Block 2: November 23, 2026 – January 31, 2027

Block 3: February 1, 2027 – March 28, 2027

Block 4: March 29, 2027 – May 23, 2027

Families can register one block at a time, giving players the opportunity to continue training throughout the year while keeping registration flexible for families.



Rain City Academy Training is our new invitation-only development program for selected players who are ready for a more focused, demanding, and consistent training environment.

Academy Training is designed for players who show strong commitment, coachability, technical ability, competitiveness, and a desire to keep improving. Players are invited based on age, ability, attitude, training habits, and overall fit within the group.

The Academy season runs from fall through spring, beginning in late September and continuing through May.

Academy Training is also the primary pathway for Rain City travel opportunities. Players involved in Academy may be considered for future travel experiences, tournaments, matches, and other development opportunities. Selection for travel opportunities will depend on age, ability, commitment, availability, group needs, and overall fit.

Academy Training is invitation only. Players must be invited or approved by Rain City before registering.

Families who believe their child may be a good fit for Academy Training can contact Rain City to express interest at hello@raincitynl.com, but registration is only available once a player has been invited or approved.

Rain City Weekly Summer Camps are designed for boys and girls who want a fun, high-energy soccer environment with quality coaching, lots of touches on the ball, and plenty of small-sided play.

Rain City 4v4 League is a fast-paced, small-sided game format designed to give players more touches, more decisions, more attacking moments, and more opportunities to compete.

The 4v4 format creates an exciting environment where players are constantly involved in the game. With fewer players on the field, players get more time on the ball, more chances to score, more opportunities to defend, and more freedom to be creative.

The league is designed for players who enjoy competing, playing small-sided games, and developing their confidence in a fun, high-energy environment.
