The Club’s objective is to provide progressive training for those soccer players that aspire to play at the highest level of competition. Our primary focus remains the development of players, and we encourage our players to be pro active in their own development, by establishing personal goals and executing the appropriate steps to achieve these goals. In this regard, we offer specific training and supplemental skills training for individual field players on a regular basis. Players who strive to be considered an "impact player" on their junior high, high school, and college teams can acheive these ambitions through participation in our intense high quality soccer training program.
Our professional coaches have experiences beyond their national coaching license level. Most of our coaches have played college and/or professional soccer. Being a player for the FC Alliance is a great experience. Our club is small enough that you’re not just another number, instead, you are a member of a community of soccer families. We invite you to experience the Alliance premier soccer program, and discover why Alliance is the right move for your competitive athlete.
Club Budget, Affordability & Facilities
FC Alliance is governed by parents, just like you, so we take a personal interest in ensuring our families get the best coaching and training for the best value. Our Club Fees typically run below those of comparable clubs, and dependent on the number and quality of players attending tryouts, we will have up to three teams per age/gender group.
Besides the best coaches, our players enjoy first-rate facilities. Teams practice and play on fields owned by the Northshore School District and the City of Bothell. We play year-round, and during the winter when the grass fields are closed, practices and games move to the lighted turf fields at Inglemoor, Bothell and Woodinville High Schools, Pop Keeney Stadium and the North Creek fields. Few other clubs have access to the quality of fields we enjoy.
Each seasons Club Fees are set via a yearly budget process, and cover the many expenses required in providing a premier soccer program – these include, player registration, insurance, field rentals for practices and games, referee fees, equipment purchases, additional training for coaches and players, scholarships for qualified players and the cost of the Alliance coaches and Directors.
Commitment
As a member of FC Alliance, families are expected to make a strong commitment to our program. The success of our teams and players is the direct result of the dedication of the players and their parents, the quality of the Alliance coaching staff and overall commitment by FC Alliance to long-term development of the individual player. Our organization is run by volunteers, and families are expected to assume volunteer roles within their team or within FC Alliance.
FC Alliance is governed by an elected volunteer board. Each team elects a representative to serve on the board; each member votes their team’s position on Club business. The executive committee is comprised of the club officers, who are elected by the team representatives. Board meetings are held the 3rd Monday of each month, starting at 7 p.m., at the Seattle Times North Creek facility.
Guests are welcome; please let the President or Secretary know in advance if you would like something placed on the agenda.
The Coaching Advantage
Here is are some comments from our parent members that exemplify the Alliance coaching advantage....
"Our coach, along with his assistant, have provided my player with a very positive first year of select soccer with FCA. The coach has excellent skills, which he has taught to the players and his approach with the kids is wonderful. His dedication, experience and coaching are excellent and we are very pleased. We look forward to returning next year." - Anonymous Alliance Parent
"The coach is an amazing coach! He is dedicated to the kids he coaches and shares his time/skills generously! He is the reason we are at FCA!" - Anonymous Alliance Parent
"The coach is an outstanding coach! It has been such a positive experience for our daughter in many ways. His enthusiasm and love of the sport are infectious and have definitely rubbed off on our girl! She has learned so much from him and it has been fun watching her skills improve as the year has gone on. He has the perfect balance of being firm, tough and being there to teach and push the girls to play to their full potential but at the same time he is always positive and encouraging." - Anonymous Alliance Parent
"I believe 80% of team consisted of new players. It was a pleasure to watch the boys improve their skills and learn to work together as the year progressed to really "gel" as a team. Thanks Coach!" - Anonymous Alliance Parent
"Our coach was fantastic and worked well the the girls. The group of girls and their families were also supportive and great. I was lucky our daughter got to be a part of the team." - Anonymous Alliance Parent
