At just 16 years old, Riley Borman’s journey through Eastside is a clear example of what steady development and readiness can look like when opportunity shows up. A striker and winger for the newly formed BU17 ECNL team, Riley doesn’t overcomplicate why he plays the game. For him, it’s about the experience and the people around him—the memories built with friends through competition, training, and shared moments on and off the field. That simple foundation has shaped a player

At 15 years old, Hadley Paget has already moved through multiple stages of the Eastside FC player pathway and now competes as a winger and forward for the formidable G10 ECNL team. Her journey is a clear example of steady progression built on patience, adaptability, and a growing belief in herself. Hadley didn’t begin with a single-minded focus on soccer. She came into Eastside FC with a multi-sport mindset, wanting to stay active and play with friends. I started on an RCL t

Development isn’t a straight line. It’s built on effort, resilience, and a relentless commitment to improving every day. Julius Chen is a great example of that journey in action. Julius, age 10, currently plays on Eastside B15 White. A versatile attacker who can play striker, midfield, or on the wings, he brings a simple mindset to the game. He loves to score goals. He’s been with Eastside FC for two years, and in that time, his path through the club has been anything but sta

Player development is defined by progress over time and the willingness to keep earning each new opportunity. Few examples reflect that better than Drew Peach , a 17-year-old striker and winger who has steadily moved through multiple levels of the club and now enters his final season on the BU19 ECNL RL roster. An Unlikely Journey Through the Club Drew began his Eastside FC experience on the Blue team, the fourth team in his age group. At the time, he was focused more on enjo

Eastside FC is proud to highlight one of our own, Aedan Suh from the B12 ECNL team, who is currently guest playing up a year with the Seattle Sounders FC U16 Academy at the prestigious Generation adidas Cup in Florida. Competing against top youth talent from across North America, Europe, South America and Asia, Aedan has already made a significant impact. In a key group-stage match, he contributed with a penalty kick, helping the Sounders secure a strong performance and advan

We are thrilled to announce that Riley Rountree, a standout on our G10 ECNL team, has been called up to the U.S. U-16 Girls’ National Team—her ninth national team selection!

Every so often, a player comes along whose story reminds us why youth sports matter — whose dedication speaks as loudly as their talent. For Eastside FC, that player is B09 ECNL's Jonathan Garcia Mendoza, a whose commitment to the game has now earned him one of the highest honors in the league: Selection to the ECNL Conference Cup this December. This accomplishment is a testament to years of sacrifice, focus, and belief in what’s possible. A Standout From the Start Jonathan’s

Ignacio “Nacho” Costa was born in Argentina and joined Eastside FC at just six years old, quickly becoming an integral and driving force on our B15 Red team. Even at that young age, Nacho’s passion for the game—and for his beloved Boca Juniors—was unmistakable. He wore Boca shin guards at every training session and every match, carrying a little piece of Buenos Aires with him onto the the pitches of Washington. This past summer, Nacho’s family made the difficult decision to r
