Federal Way United Soccer Club would like to invite teams to this year's Blast Off Soccer Tournament. Several Federal Way venues will be used with Celebration Park being the tournament headquarters. To ensure adequate competition for all teams, the following skill level of teams will be accepted this year:
U11-U13: All levels of play accepted.
U14-U15: Recreational, District, CYL, WSYDL, Division 2, and Division 3. PDL "B" teams accepted with
Tournament Director's approval. No Division 1 or PDL "A" teams allowed.
U16-U18: Recreational, District, CYL, and WSYDL teams. No Division 1, 2, or 3 teams allowed.
The U11’s will play 9 a side with a maximum roster size of 14. U12 and above will play standard 11 a side. We have field space for 24 U11 teams and 60 U12-U18 teams per weekend. Teams will be in brackets of four (or as close as possible) with other teams of similar skill level. There will be no semi finals between brackets. The top two teams in each bracket will play each other in a final game on Sunday. Coaches trophies and player medals will be awarded to the First and Second place team in each bracket. Games will begin mid-day Friday.
Upon acceptance, you will be notified electronically. Schedules will be mailed approximately 10 days prior to the tournament. An Association signed roster is required at check-in.

Federal Way United Fundraiser
Federal Way United (FWU) teams can make some easy money by selling Blast Off program advertisements. Any FWU person who sells an advertisement for the Blast Off program will earn half of the add price. For example, a full page add costs the vendor $200. The Blast Off Tournament will reimburse the seller $100 after the tournament. For more information, please see:

Blast Off Volunteers
The Federal Way United Blast Off Tournament is the Club's major fund raiser. Each FWU team is required to participate as volunteers for this tournament, whether the team plays in the tournament or not. A team may pay the club $650.00 instead of providing volunteers. This fee is due upon registration of the team. Any team that does not fulfill the total hours needed for the task will be billed at a prorated rate for the unsupported hours.
