Bainbridge Island FC

What ages and program levels does Bainbridge Island FC offer?Mini Kickers serves three- to five-year-olds. Development Academy targets the August 1, 2016–July 31, 2018 birth window as a bridge toward Select. Recreational soccer covers kindergarten through eighth grade. Select Soccer forms teams from birth years 2008 through 2016 after tryouts. TOPsoccer welcomes players with intellectual, emotional, or physical disabilities at no cost. Winter Select, winter Development Academy, indoor classes, and adult coed 7v7 round out seasonal options, and the club also runs camps plus tournament and travel add-ons.

Where does Bainbridge Island FC train and play?Most training, games, and select tryouts use Woodward Middle School on Sportsman Club Road, Bainbridge Island. Additional island sites include Woodward grass, Bainbridge High School stadium turf, Sands Avenue, and Sakai Field. Competitive league play moves around the Puget Sound region depending on age group and North Puget Sound League placement, with Peninsula League scheduling used to keep many younger foundation-phase matches on the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas.

When are tryouts and how does registration work?Select tryouts happen each spring at Woodward Middle School, with evening sessions split by birth-year bands; high-school-aged boys have sometimes evaluated in February on the Woodward turf while younger groups cluster in late April and May. Register for tryouts through the open StackSports portal when the club opens that cycle. Development Academy requires two evaluation sessions in May before teams are built, with signup through PlayMetrics. Recreational spring registration typically opens in December and closes in mid-April or when a division fills, whichever comes first. Confirm the exact times for your child’s age before traveling.

What do tryouts cost for Select Soccer?Select tryout registration is free. After a player earns a roster spot, the club collects the seasonal Select tuition, which has recently ranged from about nineteen hundred to twenty-one hundred twenty-five dollars depending on age group.

What does a season cost in the programs that list prices?Spring recreational soccer has recently been near two hundred twenty-five dollars, Mini Kickers near one hundred twenty-five dollars per six-week session, Development Academy summer and fall near one thousand fifty dollars, Select Soccer between about nineteen hundred and twenty-one hundred twenty-five dollars per season, winter Select or winter Development Academy near four hundred dollars, adult spring league near one hundred fifty dollars, younger indoor winter classes near two hundred to two hundred ten dollars, and TOPsoccer at no charge. Camp, tour, and uniform costs are separate. Always confirm pricing in the active registration checkout for the season you are joining.

What is Bainbridge Island FC’s mission and coaching approach?Long-term player development and character work sit at the center of the program, with belonging, integrity, fun, and community as core values. Select training stresses individual growth ahead of short-term trophies, professional coaching staff, goalkeeper-specific work, and a pathway from foundation through elite phases mapped in the Blueprint for Development. Codes of conduct cover coaches, parents, and players, and the club enforces zero tolerance for hate speech, bullying, or violent conduct on the field.
