FWFC Premier Soccer

What is Premier Soccer?

Year-round, Highly Competitive, RCL

Trained under professional, licensed coaches, with experience ranging from club soccer in England to MLS Youth Academies, the player looking to develop and play at the highest competitive level in WA State plays Premier soccer. These players must go through tryouts to identify their talent and ability.

Premier plays in the Regional Club League (RCL) which spans a large playing area throughout WA State.

Coaches typically have both a playing background and are certified to coach by US Soccer. We seek out coaches for our Premier program that can successfully coach youth soccer players who are looking to play at the highest levels of competition and can develop the passion and fun of playing youth soccer at a Premier level.
