PORTLAND, Ore. – The Portland Timbers today announced the addition of Sting Premier Soccer Club (SPSC) – based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho – as the ninth club in the adidas Timbers Alliance, a strategic partnership with elite local youth clubs in the Timbers’ development territory.
Started in 2012, the adidas Timbers Alliance is designed to build unique working relationships and development opportunities to help channel the top youth players towards the Timbers’ development programs and the Timbers Academy. Sting Timbers FC becomes the second Idaho-based club to join the alliance, along with Boise Nationals Timbers.
