Registration is Open

 

2013 Tryouts

Welcome to Pacific Northwest Soccer Club!  Our focus is on the development of the player by providing the highest level of technical training by qualified coaches and trainers to assist players in achieving their fullest potential in the sport of soccer.  It is our philosophy to ensure that development of the player is approached methodically without cutting corners.  Winning is not the focus, but we are confident that proper development of skills and soccer knowledge will transpire to a winning formula.  PacNW is a member of the Regional Club League (RCL) and plays against the other top Premier clubs in our state.  We appreciate the trust our parents place in us, and together we will work on developing a great soccer player that we can all be proud of both on the field and off.
