Columbia Premier Soccer Club

What ages and program levels does Columbia Premier Soccer Club offer?Recreational soccer through Vancouver United (VUSA) and Camas-Washougal (CWSA) serves a wide youth span from early elementary through high school, with no tryouts—players are placed using returning-team history, buddy or coach requests when possible, and signup timing. Junior Academy focuses on experienced U8–U10 players who want more training and local competition. Advanced Competition Academy programming covers roughly U11–U19 with Girls Academy, ECNL boys, and Black or Gray team tiers that match different training loads and league assignments. Goalkeeper Academy training is available for U9–U19 keepers who are rostered in Academy or Junior Academy.

Where does Columbia Premier train and play?Junior Academy families choose east-side training at Harmony Sports Complex or west-side training at HB Fuller Complex. Many Junior Academy league games take place on Sundays at Delta Park. Recreational practice nights and field locations are assigned by team after rosters are built; most recreational teams practice on weekdays after 5:00 p.m., typically twice per week. Competitive teams use club training sites that vary by age group and program. The club office is at 1500 NE 192nd Avenue, Vancouver, WA 98684.

When are tryouts, placements, or recreational registration?Competitive player placement registration opens ahead of each new seasonal year, with specific evaluation dates for each age group announced in the spring. Families exploring Advanced Competition for the first time can create a PlayMetrics account and submit the new-player inquiry form inside the club’s placement workflow. Recreational spring registration has opened in mid-January for recent cycles, with a February deadline for returning players who want priority on coach or team requests; check the current VUSA or CWSA program in PlayMetrics for open or wait-listed seasons.

What do recreational or competitive programs cost?A recent spring recreational season used a $95 per-player registration fee before uniforms, plus a separate card-processing fee that goes to the payment vendor rather than the club. Competitive club tuition for the next seasonal year appears once the club finalizes annual fees; families should also budget for uniforms, travel, and team tournament costs. Junior Academy U9/U10 fee summaries include an annual tournament fee line item on top of club tuition once the club releases that season’s numbers.

What is Columbia Premier’s mission and coaching approach?The mission is to help youth reach their highest level in soccer and in life through competition, teamwork, and personal achievement. The club’s vision emphasizes excellent coaching, strong facilities, thoughtful development programming, and an environment that balances fun with serious competition. Multi-sport athletes are welcomed at Junior Academy with expectations that families and coaches coordinate schedules; higher academy tiers treat soccer as the primary sport while still communicating around other activities.

How can families register, request aid, or get help?Recreational and competitive workflows run through PlayMetrics for registration, payments, and team messaging.
