About

Spokane Scotties is a long-established competitive youth soccer club serving the Spokane area and surrounding communities in eastern Washington. The nonprofit organization fields boys and girls teams from U-8 through U-19, pairing players with opponents of similar ability so families get a step above recreational league intensity without leaving the Inland Northwest for every match.

Programs and competitive level

Scotties teams draw from Spokane and nearby towns for travel-style league and tournament play. The club is a member of US Club Soccer and typically competes in the Eastern Division of the Puget Sound Premier League, giving rosters regular high-level league games plus tournament weekends through the year. Programming emphasizes continuous training and competition—league seasons, club camps, and tournament travel—so players build technical skill and game understanding in a positive, structured environment.

Tryouts and team placement

Team tryouts run each spring in the Spokane area, usually in late April or early May, with sessions held at Dwight Merkel Sports Complex, 5701 N Assembly St, Spokane, WA 99205. Families who miss the published tryout window can email president@spokanescotties.com to ask about open roster spots for the coming soccer year. Players should arrive ready to train with cleats and shin guards; coaches evaluate fit for competitive teams by age group and gender.

Philosophy, affordability, and development

With more than four decades in the community, Spokane Scotties keeps a player-first culture—prioritizing development, enjoyment, and fair play over short-term results. The club stresses teamwork, integrity, respect, and emotional well-being alongside soccer skill, and it works to demonstrate sportsmanship and honesty in competition. As a nonprofit, Scotties aims to keep fees manageable for families, including tuition payment options, and reinvests in player success rather than profit. Coach development matters too: the club sponsors coaching license coursework and runs team camps that strengthen club culture across rosters.
