Loss of a Local Legend

We are saddened to report that Karl Grosch, a WA soccer pioneer, has passed away. As a co-founder of the Federal Way Youth Soccer Association in 1967, he left a legacy of fun, camaraderie, and friendly competition in our community. He loved the game of soccer and loved the kids and volunteers who shared his passion.

Karl Grosch was also a licensed referee and co-founded the Washington Youth Soccer Referee Association. He went on to be President of Washington Youth Soccer from 1970-77 and helped lead the way for girls' soccer in WA in 1972 and eventually in US Youth Soccer in 1974 where he was a founding father. He helped draft the initial US Youth Soccer constitution, bylaws and rules and regulations and, that same year, was appointed as the first US Youth Soccer Region IV commissioner.

Its' easy to see how he ended up a member of the Halls of Fame of both Washington Youth Soccer and US Youth Soccer and why, in 2003, Karl Grosch Field was built in Federal Way to honor his contributions to the community. It has been the scene of FWFC soccer played by all ages and we will be forever grateful!
