What is Wenatchee Futbol Academy and who does it serve?Wenatchee Futbol Academy is the merged competitive youth soccer organization for the Wenatchee Valley, combining Wenatchee United SC and Wenatchee FC into one nonprofit club under the “One Valley, One Vision, One Club” approach. It serves North Central Washington families seeking competitive boys and girls teams from young age groups through U19, with regional pathways into ECNL-RL, RCL, and WPL.

About
Wenatchee Futbol Academy is the new competitive youth soccer home for North Central Washington, formed when Wenatchee United SC and Wenatchee FC merged under one valley-wide vision. The nonprofit club serves the greater Wenatchee Valley with teams for boys and girls from early elementary ages through high school, aligning player pools, coaching, and community resources so families see a single pathway instead of competing local brands.
Programs and competitive pathways
The academy focuses on competitive travel soccer with structured teams organized by birth year, coached staff listed for boys and girls squads from U6 through U19, and leadership from a Director of Coaching and Training Director who oversee technical development across the club. Competitive athletes can advance through regional league placements including ECNL-RL, RCL, and WPL, giving Wenatchee Valley players access to higher-level competition without leaving the region. Supplemental player clinics cover striking, goalkeeping, and elite technical skills for ages 10–13, while Soccer Tots camps introduce ages 4–6 to fundamentals on a Monday–Wednesday July schedule at Orchard Middle School.
Tryouts and team placement
Open tryouts for the 2026–2027 season run May 11–21 at 9th Street Fields, 460 9th St NE, East Wenatchee, with separate girls and boys sessions by age group from U6 through U18–19 and a supplemental tryout on May 27 for players who need another evaluation window. Families should pre-register for tryouts, arrive 15–20 minutes early with shin guards, cleats, water, and athletic clothing, and expect check-in before each session. After selection, players receive a roster invitation before completing US Club Soccer registration; walk-on registration at tryouts is limited.
Philosophy and community role
Wenatchee Futbol Academy emphasizes commitment, teamwork, respect, and integrity while developing athletes, teammates, and leaders on and off the field. The club’s mission centers on well-rounded and elite player development, accountability as teammates, and success measured by growth—not only match scores—with a vision that every athlete can compete at the right level for as long as they love the game. A nonprofit restructuring accompanies the merger to strengthen long-term support for players and families across the valley.
Leadership, events, and practical next steps
A volunteer board and operations team handle scheduling, registration, and communications, with coaching staff assigned across Upper Valley and Wenatchee rosters. The club hosts community events, coach education courses, and seasonal clinics, and offers sponsorship opportunities for teams and players. Questions about the merger, programs, or tryouts can go to wenatcheefa@gmail.com; general club correspondence also uses WVUnited@outlook.com. Follow Wenatchee United SC social channels for clinic dates and registration windows as the Futbol Academy transition continues.
