UNITE welcomes participants ages six through eighteen with intellectual or physical disabilities at no charge. Camps add extra touches during breaks.

About
Seattle United is a nonprofit player-development organization chartered in 2009 by Seattle Youth Soccer Association (SYSA) and rooted in Washington Youth Soccer (WYS). The club ranks among the largest youth soccer programs on the West Coast and pairs high-level travel options with work alongside SYSA on community outreach, recreational coach education, and extra training for families inside the city’s broader soccer ecosystem.
What the club offers
Premier teams compete in WYS’s Regional Club League (RCL), while Select teams play in the North Puget Sound League (NPSL). The fee and staffing structure also includes ECNL and ECNL Regional League tiers for athletes on those national and regional trajectories. Programming spans year-round Junior Academy work for U7–U9 players, full-sided competitive teams for older age groups, seasonal Player Development Academy (PDA) blocks aimed at SYSA recreational players who want sharper technical sessions, camp offerings across the calendar, and UNITE, which serves children ages six through eighteen with intellectual or physical disabilities at no cost to families.
Junior Academy rhythm and player values
Junior Academy keeps U7, U8, and U9 teams active year-round with a spring-to-spring season model that typically runs May through April, two to three training sessions per week, weekend league games, two or three summer tournaments, and a winter futsal block from November through February with one indoor touch session weekly focused on repetition and creativity. The pathway stresses long-term love of the game and a CARE framework: compete with energy, lead with positive attitude, stay resilient after mistakes, and stay engaged in personal growth. Junior Academy program fees for that pathway are set at one thousand two hundred dollars for Premier U8, one thousand seven hundred twenty-five dollars for Premier U9, and one thousand four hundred dollars for Select U9.
Add-on training, inclusion, and partnerships
PDA runs as a five-week seasonal add-on built around tighter control of the ball, cleaner receiving, defending, passing, and finishing, capped with small-sided scrimmages each night. One spring block meets on Friday evenings for five sessions at Shoreline fields; a recent block targeted boys and girls from U6 through U13 with a two-hundred-dollar fee and capacity limits, so families should watch the active PlayMetrics listing for the next window. UNITE combines Seattle United coaches with Seattle Pacific University special education students and faculty, meets on weekend mornings at SPU Wallace Field for hour-long sessions across a short spring block, and stays free for participants. Camps rotate through the year for extra touches during school breaks.
Registration, fees, and family commitments
After tryout placement and roster acceptance, families receive a PlayMetrics invitation and have seven days to finish checkout before late fees may apply. New SYSA entrants upload proof of age and a current head shot during registration; legal names must match birth certificates exactly. For the 2025–2026 cycle, club program fees run from Select Regional U8 at one thousand four hundred twenty-five dollars through ECNL at three thousand three hundred dollars, with ECNL Regional League at three thousand two hundred twenty-five dollars, Premier U10–U19 at three thousand one hundred seventy-five dollars, Premier U9 at two thousand two hundred twenty-five dollars, Premier U8 at one thousand eight hundred dollars, Select Regional U10–U19 at two thousand dollars, and Select Regional U9 at one thousand five hundred seventy-five dollars—always confirm the line item that matches your player’s offer because Junior Academy charts can differ for the youngest Premier and Select bands. Payments are card-only online with a 2.7 percent processing pass-through, and installment plans bill on the fifteenth of each month in four-, eight-, or ten-month schedules after tryouts, with reminders one week before each charge; delinquent accounts can incur a twenty-five-dollar late fee and roster risk beyond twenty days past due. Financial aid exists through a club committee—apply during registration after reading the financial aid policy. The club expects volunteer help at the team and club level. Withdrawals after commitment remain case-by-case, with twenty percent of the club fee treated as non-refundable commitment money and physician documentation required for season-ending injury cases; use the official withdrawal form and coordinate with the registrar and executive director.

Frequently asked questions
Where does Seattle United train or meet for key programs?Team training sites rotate across Seattle-area complexes as schedules demand. Recent Junior Academy supplemental tryouts have used Lower Woodland Field 7. PDA Friday blocks have met at Shoreline fields. UNITE sessions gather at Seattle Pacific University’s Wallace Field. The business office is at 301 NE 100th Street, Suite 102, Seattle, WA 98125.
When are tryouts and how does registration work?Competitive and Junior Academy tryouts follow seasonal calendars with signup handled inside PlayMetrics; dates, birth-year groupings, and field assignments change every cycle, so confirm the active schedule before you travel. After a roster offer, families receive a PlayMetrics invitation and typically have seven days to complete checkout before late fees may apply.
What do tryouts or add-on programs cost?Spring Player Development Academy blocks have recently been priced at two hundred dollars for a five-session Friday series with capped enrollment. Standard program fee tables do not itemize tryout charges, so ask the registrar whether a specific tryout window carries a separate fee.
What does a Seattle United season cost?Junior Academy posts Premier U8 at one thousand two hundred dollars, Premier U9 at one thousand seven hundred twenty-five dollars, and Select U9 at one thousand four hundred dollars for its spring-to-spring program year. For 2025–2026, broader club program fees run from Select Regional U8 at one thousand four hundred twenty-five dollars up through ECNL at three thousand three hundred dollars, with ECNL Regional League at three thousand two hundred twenty-five dollars, Premier U10–U19 at three thousand one hundred seventy-five dollars, Premier U9 at two thousand two hundred twenty-five dollars, Premier U8 at one thousand eight hundred dollars, Select Regional U10–U19 at two thousand dollars, Select Regional U9 at one thousand five hundred seventy-five dollars, and Select Regional U8 at one thousand four hundred twenty-five dollars.
