International Students
For international students, joining Orix is also an opportunity to become part of a Canadian soccer community.
Players train and compete alongside local Canadian athletes, providing a natural environment to develop friendships, experience Canadian culture and gain practical English-language immersion through everyday communication with teammates and coaches.
Soccer becomes a common language that helps players connect with their new community while continuing to pursue the game they love.
Canadian Players Relocating to Metro Vancouver
Orix Soccer Academy also welcomes ambitious youth players from rural and smaller communities across Canada who are considering relocating to the Metro Vancouver area to access a more competitive soccer environment and greater development opportunities.
For players with aspirations of reaching higher levels of the game, being based in Metro Vancouver can provide greater access to established player pathways, including BC Soccer Premier League (BCSPL/SPL) environments, high-performance training, post-secondary opportunities and other competitive programs.
Orix can help players and families navigate this transition by providinghigh-level training, player assessment and guidance toward appropriate competitive pathways. Where suitable, our coaching network can assist players in identifying opportunities and potential placement with programs that align with their ability, development and long-term goals.
Our objective is to help talented and motivated players find the right environment to continue progressing—whether that pathway is with Orix or elsewhere within the Metro Vancouver soccer community.
