CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR TRYOUTS!
We are excited to announce FREE tryouts for our 2022-2023 select soccer teams! Tryouts are open to anyone looking to explore a select soccer experience or wanting to check out the club. There are opportunities for players interested in our Premier, Copa, and Development teams with the youth soccer year running from June to May. Team information can be found under Programs on our website.
We are a non-profit organization created to support the Wenatchee Valley community's passion for youth soccer. Our goal is to offer opportunity to all youth that aspire to participate in competitive soccer and want to take the next steps in their soccer journey. Come join us to play - tryouts are FREE!
Please find our 2022-2023 Annual Membership Pricing on our website. We have a significant Scholarship Program based on financial need worth 50% off of annual memberships for all players who qualify. If you want to apply for a scholarship, please apply early as paperwork is needed from your school before they close for summer. We work to give a scholarship to all players who qualify!
