What ages does FC Piamonte serve?FC Piamonte fields youth teams across multiple age groups, splitting rosters when numbers require it so training and competition stay age-appropriate.
About
FC Piamonte is a Portland metro youth soccer club that grew from informal scrimmages among extended family into a multi-team program serving players across age groups. The club keeps a community-first tone while pursuing league and tournament play under national and state soccer bodies.
Roots and leadership
Heladio Cruz founded FC Piamonte after organizing pickup games for relatives and friends in 2013. Early practices drew a handful of kids, then rosters swelled enough to split teams by age while Cruz stayed on the field as a coach. Parents and fellow coaches stepped in as the workload grew, and the organization matured into a formal club with a director-led structure.
Path to independence
Before standing on its own charter, FC Piamonte operated under several Portland-area umbrella clubs between 2014 and early 2020 while pursuing independent status. The club registered as its own US Club Soccer member in April 2020. In 2021 Oregon Youth Soccer Association approval added access to US Youth Soccer and OYSA-sanctioned leagues and tournaments alongside the US Club pathway.
Name and identity
The FC Piamonte name nods to Italian soccer culture and the Piemonte region, chosen so the brand would stay distinctive in Oregon. Day-to-day culture stresses gratitude toward coaches, team parents, families, and players who sustain the program.
Programs and team formation
Teams are built around age-appropriate groupings as numbers allow, reflecting how the club scaled from a single mixed-age scrimmage into multiple squads. When active divisions are open, registration, rostering, and payments run through the club’s Stack Sports registration system; during quiet cycles families should reach out directly for the next tryout or placement conversation.
Tryouts, fees, and payment timing
Tryout registration carries a $25 fee. Full season tuition is not charged until a player is offered a roster spot and accepts it. Families who prefer to spread costs can arrange monthly payments once they commit to a team.
Gear, volunteers, and contact
Fan gear and some club merchandise route through the Bluesombrero club store tied to FC Piamonte. Volunteer team roles surface inside the same registration ecosystem when programs are live. For placement questions, open windows, or administrative help, email president@fcpiamonte.org or begin account setup through the Register path on fcpiamonte.org, which opens the Stack Sports flow for the club.
