United Club History
The Federal Way United Soccer Club (FWUSC) was founded in 1990, to combine all the older teams (U-13 to U-19), from the four existing clubs in the Federal Way Soccer Association, Southwest United, Lasac, Southcrest, and Totem. In 1998 FWU expanded to include U-11 to U-19. FWU provides a first class select program for the most advanced players and a strong non-select program with training available to bridge the two.
The Girls Select teams are called, the "Reign" and wear purple, white, and black uniforms. The Boys Select teams are called the "Storm" and wear green, white, and black uniforms. All non-select teams wear black, white and gold.

United Club Mission
Preface
Federal Way United Soccer Club (FWUSC) is more than a collection of teams playing weekend games and conducting weekday practices. We are a community of many, sharing the joy of a game rich in its lessons, benefiting the mental and physical development of youth. We are a community with a common vision, mission, goals, and values, which offer us direction for administering the organization. They provide us with a means to assess our performance relative to our original intent.
Vision
Inspiring, encouraging, and enabling participation in soccer
Mission
- Promote the game of soccer and to provide opportunities for all youth between the ages of 10 and 18, to play District, Washington State Youth Leagues, or Top Soccer, at a level commensurate with ability and interest.
- Emphasize the development of self-esteem, good sportsmanship, fitness, achievement, teamwork, and skill as well as encourage courtesy, proper conduct and respect for authority by the players, officials, and spectators through the playing of the game.
- Provide educational opportunities to develop all players, coaches, referees, and administrators.
Goals
Our club has many goals in pursuit of our vision and mission. Goals should be those things that we are “shooting for”, or said differently, the outcomes of our activities.
Development- Players
Training for players – Working with the FWSA and state soccer organizations FWUSC will provide opportunities to players to train at levels beyond the standard team practices.
Coach Selection and Training –
Selection – The criteria for all coaches at all levels will include their level of experience, their skills, background, and their adherence to the values of the FWUSC. At ages U14 and above FWUSC will select coaches or coaching staffs that will best meet the goal of placing at least one team in WSYL Division 1.
Train – On an annual basis the Club will provide opportunities for our coaches to continue building coaching knowledge and expand the coaching tool box. These opportunities may include the Soccer Fair workshops, “Byte Size” coaching, coaching clinics, and reimbursement for clinic or license registration fees.
Finance
Best Soccer Value – The Club will work to keep the costs of player participation at levels that are reasonable and supportive of our soccer programs for player development and league play. To do so, the Club may utilize fund raisers. District non-select team player registration fees will help offset the costs of the select and WSYL teams.
Sufficient financial reserves – As a club, we will maintain a sufficient financial reserve such that we can afford to handle emergency circumstances or opportunities that might arise. At a minimum, the Club will maintain reserves in the amount of 10% of the total budget.
Scholarships – While the club relies on player fees to pay for its expenses, in the event a player cannot afford the Club registration fees, the Club will provide a waiver for registration fees upon receipt of a written request for a declaration of hardship. Programs to help with team fees above and beyond the club registration fee will be provided.
Relationships
Solid Relationship with the City of Federal Way – The very name of our club is drawn from the community in which we reside. FWUSC will work in partnership and through the Federal Way Soccer Association with the city of Federal Way to maintain and improve the city facilities that we use.
Solid relationship with Federal Way School District – Many of our games are played on Federal Way School District fields, we will respect the grounds, property and rules of the school district. We will endeavor to work with the school district to keep their facilities in good shape by collecting our litter and repairing damage caused during our normal approved and agreed to usage.
Facilities
High Quality Fields – We will work with the City of Federal Way, King County Parks Department, and the Federal Way School District #410 to keep good fields available for our players. We will participate with our parent organization, Federal Way Soccer Association, to develop fields for our players.
Values and Expectations
The values held by any organization define the actions of the group. For the Club, we collectively value the following:
Sportsmanship – For competition to be enjoyable we expect all players, coaches, parents, and spectators will subscribe to the basic tenets of good sportsmanship. To achieve the highest level of sportsmanship we will strive to educate all participants, player, parent, spectator, of our mission to provide educational and enjoyable play for all. We desire a soccer experience for our children free of foul language and other undesirable behavior.
Fairness – Coaches will be motivated by player skill development. We hold that all players shall be treated equally and teams should be equal to create a high quality level at all levels of competition.
Education – We urge all players, coaches, parents and club leadership to expose themselves to educational opportunities to further the quality of the soccer experience. The best means of developing players is to promote the most ball “touches” possible for players. To that end we will work at all times to “put the ball on the foot.” To provide “state-of-the-art” soccer knowledge for our leadership, the Club will send one elected Board member to the annual USYSA soccer convention.
Friendship – The enjoyment of working together for the benefit of our children should create friendships between players and friends that last season to season and beyond. We desire an atmosphere that is open and honest at all club meetings to further the efforts of the club to create the highest quality experience for parent and child alike.
Quality – We desire high quality equipment and facilities for our children. We desire competent coaching and leadership. We desire the participation of all participants to continue the enhancement of the quality of the game of soccer.
Excellent Referees – The Club will work with the local referee organization to recruit and train new youth and adult referees. The referee decisions on the field are final, and will not be questioned in any manner, by coaches, players, or spectators, that detract from the game.
Growth of Club Leadership – To continue the soccer program within the club we will encourage parent and coach participation at the Board level. The aim is to assure all leadership positions are filled with quality individuals that embrace the vision, mission, and goals of Federal Way United Soccer Club. Part of leadership will be the recognition of those individuals who contribute excellence to the club through efforts above and beyond through the annual “. . . Of The Year” awards.
Value – We hope to attract all children of Federal Way to our club. To do so requires that we keep our annual player and team costs be kept at a reasonable level.
Teamwork – We will work together as parents, board members, referees, and all others, treating one another with mutual respect and consideration in a consistent effort to achieve the good of the game.
Community – We are part of the Federal Way Community and will respect and represent the city in which we live and the Federal Way United Soccer Club. Our players, parents and coaches will be fair and respectful in representing our community when playing the game for all kids, SOCCER.
