    Kelowna United Football Club Partners with UBC Okanagan Junior Heat We are excited to announce a partnership between Kelowna United FC and the UBC Okanagan Heat to form the UBC Okanagan Junior Heat Soccer Program. With the goal of creating a system to develop the region’s soccer players for high level play, Kelowna United FC and UBC Okanagan will be working together to help young players take their game to the next level. What is the UBC Okanagan Junior Heat Soccer Program? The UBC Junior Heat Soccer Club will maintain it’s own clear and distinct identity, with Kelowna United administering and operating the program. KUFC Technical Director and UBCO Heat Men’s Head Coach Dante Zanatta will oversee the technical aspects of the program. The Junior Heat will be “project” based in that players will be selected, train, play exhibition games and attend showcase tournaments in a segment of approximately 6 to 8 weeks, 3 or 4 times per year. For both boys and girls the program will create teams with selected players ages U10 to U18 with the U17/U18 age group combined to create college prep team. • The UBC Okanagan Junior Heat training is supplemental to the player’s home club. For example, a Kelowna United player would remain on their KU team, and also participate in the UBCO Junior Heat training for the specified project. (Players from anywhere in the province will have the opportunity to be evaluated for the program). • Players would be involved in “project” based segments of approximately 6 to 8 weeks to work towards showcase tournaments like the Whitecaps Showcase or the Starfire Showcase in Seattle.
