Continuing the clubs efforts to find the best and brightest local talent, the Whitecaps have announced today that they will be hosting an annual tournament that will be geared towards the little ones. The Tournament will take place over the Easter Weekend. This tournament will focus on the kids in those ever important 10-14 ages categories. Ripe to be plucked from their local club teams and potentially dropped in to the Vancouver residency program U-11 all the way up to U-14's will be on display for Whitecaps coaches and training staff.

An interesting point of note is that the U-11's and U-12's will be playing 8-a-side in their matches and their halves will be 30 minutes. The U-13's and U-14's will be playing 11-a-side in 35 minute halves.
If you are interested in signing your team up information is available on the Whitecaps website.
Should the club expand the tournament to include more age groups? Do you think this set up will stop the Whitecaps from plucking anymore prospects from Southern Ontario like Russel Teibert or Bryce Alderson?
