Background:
The younger ages are critical years for a child’s development. Historically, a number of players at the end of the fall recreational season choose to continue with soccer and are looking for a program to join for the spring season. WPFC understands the importance sports has on the developmental of young children and therefore, WPFC offers a Spring Select Development Program. Getting your player placed at the right level is very important for their continued growth in any sport. Players gain confidence with success on the field.
Washington Premier will be holding a spring select tryout session on Sunday, December 7th at WPFC ‘s Complex located at 5702 44th Street E, Puyallup, WA 98371. The tryout will be used to evaluate players to ensure correct player placement. The session will run from 10:30 to 12:00 PM, with player check-in opening up at 10:00 AM. As we get closer to the evaluation date we may shift the window of time based on the number of players that sign up. The week following the tryouts, families will be notified of their child’s team placement and next steps to complete the registration process. Practice will start in January 2026.
Spring Select Development Program:
For spring of 2026, we will be offering the Spring Select Development Program for those players currently not playing in the RCL but wanting a competitive environment with premier coaching. The program will consist of 2 practices per week beginning in January. The team will play a 6 game season in the North Puget Sound League (NPSL) with games kicking off in February and running through late March early April. This program will have options for Boys and Girls U9 to U12 (birth year 2017 to 2014).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose Washington Premier Football Club (WPFC) for the development my child's soccer skills?
Washington Premier is recognized nationally as one of the top youth soccer clubs in the country. The club has a focused coaching philosophy and player development pathway for players through age 18. WPFC owns their field complex which Includes 25 acres of grass fields, and (3) full size lighted turf fields which provides the ease of one venue for practice. WPFC offers a competitive fee structure with access to the highest level of competition in the country. WPFC consistently ranks as one of the top Regional Clubs in league and post season play results.
If my child is in the Junior Program and we are paid in full and they make a select team, how will the finances work?
After the December tryout, we will have a handle on where players landed and will look at each player’s financial status.
If a player is new to WPFC the fee will be $650.
If the player is in the Jr. Program, the financials will be reviewed and any necessary adjustment will be made.
Why is the Spring Select program playing in the NPSL versus the RCL?
The RCL divisions and schedules are set in August prior to the start of season. We can add players to an existing team mid-season but we cannot add new teams to the age group and divisions as it would require all the schedules to be redone.
The NPSL provides a Spring season for new teams that is cost effective yet provides a competitive environment.
Why the NPSL versus SSUL?
The SSUL also offers a spring season. After reviewing the timing and logistics of each league, the NSPL calendar better aligns with the trasition to the next competitive season that will start in May.
What are the travel requirements for the NPSL games?
The NPSL spring league will consist of 6 games and will be a mix of home and aways games. The league tries to achieve equal balance on travel requirements. All home games will be played at WPFC’s complex. The locastion of away games will depend on the other teams placed in the division. For younger teams, the league tries to minimize long distant travel to the best of their ability.
What if my child is not ready for 7v7 play?
Not all U8 players are ready to play 7v7 at this time and that is fine. The Jr RCL training environment and 4v4 games are still an important development program so this will continue as usual for U8 groups in the spring. If you know you only want the Jr. RCL Program and do not want to be considered for the other opportunites, you do not need to sign up for the Dec. 7th tryout. The Junior Spring program will hold a formation event in early January of 2026.
If my child is currently in the Junior program and wants to tryout for the select team(s), do I still need to register?
Yes, you will need to register for the tryout. By registering in advance, helps us to prepare and make sure we have enough coaching staff available to run the session and evaluate players.
