Bellevue United FC

What ages and program levels does Bellevue United FC offer?Recreational soccer welcomes ages five through eighteen with a fall season that typically runs from late August into October or early November. Juniors serves only U8 and U9 players with paid coaches, no tryouts, and summer, fall, and spring blocks aimed at players who want a pathway into Select or Premier soccer. Competitive Select and Premier programming covers U10 through U19 with birth-year teams, tryouts, and North Puget Sound League play. Spring Training offers extra technical sessions outside normal team training.

Where does Bellevue United FC draw players from?The club focuses on West Bellevue and south/southeast Bellevue. General boundaries include the Newport area south of I-90 from Lake Washington toward the Issaquah border plus the pocket north of I-90 and west of I-405. Families often come from schools such as Chinook Middle School, Tyee Middle School, Bellevue High School, and Newport High School.

How do tryouts and competitive placement work?Select and Premier teams use tryouts to build U10–U19 birth-year rosters at levels suited for North Puget Sound League competition. Juniors does not hold tryouts; coaches expect players who are eager to learn and compete even if skills are still developing. Proof of age is required for Washington Youth Soccer registration.

When does the fall season start and how are teams assigned?Training usually launches in late August or early September, with schedules and rosters released in mid-to-late August. Recreational players who register by May 31 are prioritized to stay with the same team when space allows; later registrations fill open spots first come, first served.

What is Bellevue United FC’s mission and coaching approach?The mission centers on giving every child a chance to play soccer while learning teamwork, respect, dedication, sportsmanship, and strong technique. Players are grouped by ability and ambition without regard to race, creed, gender, or ethnic origin. Volunteer recreational coaches complete mandated safety training and background checks, while Juniors relies on paid professional coaches.

Is financial assistance available?Yes. Qualifying families can apply to the Financial Aid Committee using the club’s assistance forms. Applications are accepted up to two weeks after a program’s registration opens and may take about ten days to process. English and Spanish forms are available.
