Three Rivers Soccer Club

Richland, Washington

About

Three Rivers Soccer Club (3RSC) is a locally operated nonprofit youth soccer organization rooted in the Mid-Columbia and Tri-Cities area of southeastern Washington, including families in and around Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, and West Richland. Founded in the 1990s, it is the largest and longest-established high-level competitive youth club in southeastern Washington and still runs a large introductory recreational program for younger players.

What the club offers

Recreational soccer welcomes beginners from U5 through U10 (birth years grouped per U.S. Youth Soccer guidance) with fall and spring seasons, volunteer parent coaches, a club curriculum supported by the recreational director and senior staff, and same-night practice blocks where age groups train together before short in-house scrimmages. Families choose a home base among West Richland (Bombing Range Sports Complex), Kennewick (Highland Grange Park), or Pasco (Road 36 Soccer Complex); practices run about an hour starting at 6:00 p.m. on a fixed weekday by age band, and Saturday games rotate between home sites and partner fields across those three locations. Junior Academy serves U8–U10 players who are ready for more structure: teams train and play in the Central Washington Development League under the Washington Premier League umbrella, with a typical rhythm of fall and spring league segments, mostly Saturday games, minimal overnight travel, and one or two summer tournaments. Older competitive programming spans the Washington Premier League Eastern Washington division for younger developmental teams and continues for many U13–U19 developmental sides, the Regional Club League for top Washington club competition, and Elite Clubs National League and ECNL Regional League placements for qualifying boys and girls teams, including a full boys ECNL track for top sides. Women’s competitive teams can also compete in Cascadia Premier League, and the club adds seasonal options such as winter futsal and summer clinics. Uniforms for competitive tracks and a separate Nike recreational kit are coordinated through the club’s soccer.com store and program guidance.

Training sites and match flow

Competitive tryouts and many club-wide events use Road 36 Soccer Complex in Pasco, near Tri-Cities Airport and the Golfland area. Recreational home schedules split between Bombing Range, Grange Park, and Road 36 depending on the team’s chosen city base. Competitive training and games also use club maps for Leslie Groves Park and other Tri-Cities sites as teams age up into larger formats. Washington Premier League play for eligible ages keeps most league opponents in central and eastern Washington so travel stays drivable without overnight stays, while RCL and ECNL commitments add higher-level travel appropriate to those leagues.

Tryouts, placement, and registration

Competitive teams are formed through spring tryouts for the following fall-and-spring soccer year. Sessions are held at Road 36 with staggered evenings by birth year; the club asks families to check in well before the posted start and to complete online pre-registration before attending. A supplemental tryout evening is reserved for players who miss the primary window. Coaches follow up within about a week after tryout results are out, and players who are not offered a roster spot receive deposit handling on a similar timeline. Evaluators look for competitiveness, technical skill, athleticism, work rate, coachability, and attitude. The recreational program registers through the same SportsAffinity-powered portal with seasonal deadlines for new spring players; returning fall-and-spring families often remain on a single yearly enrollment. Parent behavior expectations, medical forms, and conduct agreements are part of the competitive compliance packet.

Known fees and financial support

Recreational registration is one hundred dollars for the combined fall and spring recreational year when families enroll for both segments, or eighty dollars for a new player joining only the spring half when that option applies. That fee covers insurance, fields, registration software, equipment, and staff support but not the uniform. New recreational players should budget roughly sixty-five to seventy-five dollars for the required Nike kit ordered as its own purchase. Junior Academy club dues are four hundred twenty-five dollars for the 2025–2026 soccer year. Competitive tryout registration requires a one hundred fifty dollar club dues deposit before tryouts; it is not a separate tryout fee. If a player is not placed on a team, the deposit is returned; if the player accepts a roster spot, the deposit applies to the first club dues installment. Paying tuition in full at registration can reduce repeated card processing charges compared with choosing installment billing through the processor. The club maintains a need-based scholarship program tied to household income, confidential committee review, volunteer expectations for awarded families, and a June application processing target, with materials submitted to the Pasco office attention line for financial aid.

Philosophy, player development, and family support

The mission centers on developing individuals to their potential, teaching sportsmanship and teamwork in a constructive environment, supporting healthy lifestyle education, and helping players navigate college recruiting alongside club training for athletes and coaches. Directors and head coaches combine college and professional playing and coaching backgrounds, and A-side coaches at U13 and older are expected to hold licensing appropriate to top leagues. Long-standing college coaching relationships support athletes who want next-level opportunities. Office staff oversee league relationships spanning Washington Youth Soccer, Washington Premier League, US Youth Soccer, ECNL, and US Club Soccer so teams stay eligible for the pathways they enter.

Frequently asked questions

What ages and program levels does Three Rivers Soccer Club offer?Recreational soccer runs from U5 through U10. Junior Academy covers U8–U10 with league play in the Central Washington Development League. Older players move into Washington Premier League divisions for many developmental teams, Regional Club League teams for elite in-state competition, and ECNL or ECNL Regional League teams when rosters qualify, including full boys ECNL sides for top teams and ECNL-RL opportunities for girls. Women’s competitive teams can also play in Cascadia Premier League, and the club offers seasonal options such as winter futsal and summer clinics.

Where does Three Rivers Soccer Club train and play?Recreational practices and Saturday games rotate among Bombing Range Sports Complex in West Richland, Highland Grange Park in Kennewick, and Road 36 Soccer Complex in Pasco based on the home location families select. Competitive tryouts and many club events use Road 36 in Pasco. Older competitive groups also train and play at Leslie Groves Park and other mapped Tri-Cities sites as formats grow.

When are tryouts or registration for competitive and rec programs?Competitive tryouts happen each spring for the next fall-and-spring soccer year, with evening sessions grouped by birth year at Road 36 Soccer Complex and a supplemental night for anyone who missed the main schedule. Families must pre-register and satisfy deposit requirements before participating. Recreational families enroll through the SportsAffinity registration portal ahead of each season, with priority deadlines for new spring players; fall-and-spring recreational enrollment is often handled as one yearly signup.

What do tryouts or recreational registration cost?Competitive tryout registration requires a one hundred fifty dollar club dues deposit before tryouts. It applies to the first tuition installment if the player is offered and accepts a team, and it is refunded if the player is not placed. Recreational soccer costs one hundred dollars for the combined fall and spring year or eighty dollars for a new player joining only the spring segment when that pricing applies. The rec fee does not include the Nike uniform kit, which runs about sixty-five to seventy-five dollars as a separate purchase. Junior Academy club dues are four hundred twenty-five dollars for the 2025–2026 soccer year.

What does a year of competitive club soccer cost beyond those figures?Annual club dues for RCL, ECNL, and other competitive tiers depend on age group and team level; families receive the full payment schedule when they register after tryouts and can compare installment versus full-pay options. The one hundred fifty dollar tryout deposit rolls into the first billed installment for accepted players. Need-based scholarships may reduce registration fees for qualifying households through a confidential application reviewed by the financial aid committee.

What is Three Rivers Soccer Club’s mission and coaching approach?The club aims to develop players to their potential while teaching sportsmanship, teamwork, and healthy habits, and it supports athletes who want to pursue college soccer through recruiting education and long-standing coach relationships. Staff blend college and professional playing and coaching experience, and top-tier league rules require appropriately licensed coaches for A teams at U13 and older. Parent and player conduct expectations reinforce a constructive sideline culture.

How can families contact Three Rivers Soccer Club or get rec help?The Pasco office at 5240 Outlet Drive, Pasco, WA 99301 is open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with Friday visits by appointment.
