Sound FC

What ages and program levels does Sound FC offer?Sound FC runs MLS NEXT for boys under-thirteen through under-nineteen, Regional Club League premier teams for elite statewide competition, a Juniors program for under-eight through under-ten, a Goalkeeper Academy for all ages with two weekly sessions included in registration, and seasonal camps. Free college-recruitment preparation programming is also available. Formats move from seven-v-seven and nine-v-nine into eleven-v-eleven as players age, always with licensed professional coaches.

Where is Sound FC based and how does it fit Northshore soccer?Sound FC is the chartered premier organization for South Snohomish County and Northshore Youth Soccer Association, operating as that association’s nonprofit premier level while serving about six hundred athletes across the Puget Sound. Administrative offices sit at 12810 Northeast 178th Street, Suite 202, Woodinville, Washington 98072, with public hours Monday through Wednesday, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Training and match sites vary by team across the region.

When are tryouts and how does registration work?Each MLS Next Academy Division and RCL cycle opens tryout registration through Northshore Youth Soccer Association’s online system; complete signup and payment before arriving because walk-ups are slower and cash is not accepted on site. For the 2026 cycle, high-school boys under-sixteen through under-nineteen try out in late February, coed under-eight in late April, coed under-nine through under-eleven in late April, boys under-twelve through under-fourteen in early May with girls under-twelve through under-fourteen overlapping, boys under-fifteen in mid-May, and high-school girls under-fifteen through under-nineteen in mid-May. Weather or field changes can move sessions, so verify the latest schedule and watch for email or social updates if you pre-register.

What does a year of Sound FC cost besides tuition?2025–2026 player tuition is two thousand one hundred fifty-five dollars for seven-v-seven under-eight through under-ten, two thousand three hundred sixty dollars for nine-v-nine under-eleven and under-twelve, two thousand seven hundred twenty-five dollars for under-thirteen and under-fourteen eleven-v-eleven, and two thousand six hundred twenty-five dollars for under-fifteen through under-nineteen eleven-v-eleven, each covering year-round training and at least three tournaments. MLS Next fees for older bands were still to be determined in that same 2025–2026 fee cycle alongside the set RCL premier tuition amounts. Budget roughly two hundred to three hundred dollars for common team expenses and about four hundred dollars plus tax and shipping for the Capelli Sport uniform kit. Goalkeeper academy training has no extra training fee.

What is Sound FC’s mission and development approach?The mission is an inclusive environment where athletes love the game, maximize potential, compete with character and discipline, and become community leaders, supported by a vision to be the Puget Sound’s most trusted, dynamic club blending performance, purpose, and people. Development stresses sound minds through problem-solving and resilience, sound bodies through nutrition and strength-agility work, and sound skills through year-round technical and tactical coaching. Advisors such as Darren Sawatzky and Dr. Kevin Alschuler reinforce high-performance habits and mental skills alongside on-field curriculum.
