More than 80 young players are part of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency program, working hard on and off the pitch every day to achieve their dreams of becoming a professional player, and playing for Canada’s national team.

Beau Chevalier caught up with U-19 Residency striker Jefferson Alade to find out what a typical day looks like for him and billet house mate Chance Carter.
Both players moved from Edmonton to Vancouver to be in the Residency program, and are billeted on the west side of Vancouver with the Kaczor family - parents Ed and Susan, and sons Sacha (14) and Soren (12).
