About Eastside FC

We're a club with deep roots on the Eastside and a clear vision for what comes next.

Founded in 1970, Eastside FC has grown into one of Washington’s largest and most established youth soccer clubs. We serve players and families across the Eastside through competitive teams, development programs, tournaments, leadership opportunities, and pathways that extend from a player’s first years in the game through college and beyond.

Our work is centered on development. That means helping players improve technically and tactically, compete at the highest level they can reach, build resilience and confidence, and develop habits that carry beyond soccer.

 

Eastside FC is also a community. Our coaches, staff, families, alumni, volunteers, sponsors, and partners all contribute to the environment around our players and to the long-term strength of the club.
