About
Crossfire Premier Soccer Club—often called XF—is a nonprofit youth soccer organization rooted in the Seattle Eastside and Redmond area. The club runs a year-round competitive program for families who want a high-commitment environment tied to regional and national platforms, with a mission to help players chase athletic and academic goals whether that means college or professional soccer or a lifelong love of the game. Daily standards stress excellence through hard work, discipline, desire, and dedication.
What the club offers
Programming spans birth-year teams for boys and girls, including Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) and ECNL Regional League (RL) sides across the older youth bands, plus Academy ECNL options on the boys side where those rosters exist. Younger players can enter through XF Futures, a no-cost identification program for Under-7 and Under-8 boys and girls built around twice-weekly sessions in Redmond, small-sided games from 1v1 through 4v4, and professional staff assisted by older ECNL players; cohorts are capped so spots stay competitive. The club also promotes XF U8 Spring RCL teams as another early pathway, runs goalkeeper and day-camp offerings, hosts and partners on regional tournaments, and maintains an XF College Prep track for recruiting education and tools.
Training rhythm and locations
Most Crossfire Premier teams train three to four times per week. Summer training for many groups centers on the 60 Acres Soccer Park complex in Redmond; winter work often shifts to Marymoor Park. XF Futures identification days use Redmond-area fields such as Grasslawn Park when the club schedules those sessions. Families should expect travel for league play, showcase events, and optional international trips only when a team agrees to those plans together.
Fees, uniforms, and payment options
Club tuition is tiered by age band: about $2,600 for Under-8 through Under-10, about $2,900 for Under-11 and Under-12, and about $3,200 for Under-13 and older. A separate $100 volunteer deposit is refundable when families meet the club’s volunteer expectations. The club allows the full club fee to be spread across ten monthly installments. New players should plan on a full uniform kit near $375, purchased on a two-year renewal rhythm with boys cycles on even years and girls on odd years. Mandatory ECNL travel for national events receives fundraising support from the Crossfire Foundation rather than being subsidized by non-ECNL team fees; ECNL RL playoff travel also receives club assistance.
Multi-sport balance, college support, and registration
Players may play other sports, but Crossfire Premier expects the soccer calendar to take priority when conflicts arise. The club staffs a full-time college coordinator and routes eighth-grade-and-up players into ScoutingZone access, a college prep manual, seminars on choosing schools and financial aid, and direct help from designated college program administrators alongside team coaches. Tryout and team registration run through the Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association Blue Sombrero portal; after tryouts, selected players receive email steps to accept a roster spot, pay an initial installment, choose a payment plan, and acknowledge team expectations.
