There are moments in a club’s calendar that feel bigger than a game or a single season. Yesterday at Preston was one of those moments. On an unseasonably warm spring afternoon, with temperatures in the 70s and the sun out across a packed complex, Eastside FC came together for a tradition that reflects who we are and what we value. It was time to honor our graduating senior girls. Our G07/08 ECNL group, led by Coach Mark Kovats , and our G07/08 ECNL RL team, led by Coach Han

Sometimes impactful moments of a season happen away from the field. During a recent ECNL conference weekend in Portland, the ECNL girls teams made the trip down from Preston for a pair of matches against Oregon Surf and Portland Thorns. In between games, three of those teams had a unique opportunity, one that had nothing to do with tactics or results, and everything to do with perspective. At the invitation of ECNL Girls Director Tim Reynolds, the group met with current Portl

A new promotional video created by adidas  and Soccer.com  is helping build excitement for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup matches in Seattle, and several members of Eastside FC were featured prominently in the production.

Despite the downpour, the production team captured extensive training footage of the club environment, showcasing

On Saturday, March 7th, the Eastside FC community came together for one of our favorite traditions: The Eastside FC Auction. It was an evening that captured what makes this club special. Players, parents, coaches, alumni, and supporters all in one room, united by a shared commitment to the kids and to the future of the club. The night was filled with great energy. Friendly competition broke out du

Every year at Eastside FC, we pause twice — once in February for our Senior Boys and again later in the Spring for our Senior Girls. Under the lights at Preston, training sessions slow. Balls are tucked under arms. And for a few minutes, the entire club gathers to recognize a group of seniors who have given years of their lives to Eastside FC. Some arrived as little kids chasing a ball that seemed too big for them. Others joined along the way. All of them helped shape what th

The most important work at Eastside FC doesn’t happen under the lights on match day. It happens quietly, thoughtfully, and over time—often behind the scenes. This is the work that builds habits, behaviors, standards, and understanding long before results are visible.  Eastside FC is a large and diverse club, with nearly 100 teams across multiple age groups and competitive levels. That scale is one of the club’s greatest strengths, but it also presents a challenge: ensuring ev

Chance Fry, Executive Director of Eastside FC, during the club’s auction in On a Saturday evening this March, a different kind of energy will settle over the Snoqualmie Casino & Hotel. It’s not the pulse of competition on the field, but there is something familiar in the buzz—people moving between conversations, laughter at a table, quiet focus over a bid sheet. It’s the Eastside FC auction, a major fundraising moment for the club where families, coaches, alumni, and longtime
