There may occasionally be an open spot even after teams are formed. Contact the coaches of your child’s age group to see if they have spots open and to set up a tryout for your child.

REGISTRATION FEE $950

Fees allow the club to operate in a fiscally responsible manner to cover registration, administrative costs, insurance, referees, facility rentals, field maintenance, and coaching education. Fees also cover the costs for teams to enter NPSL and a state cup. Crossfire Select offers payment options, and scholarships are also available. Please note: As a non-profit organization we are unable to provide refunds. Please consider costs a tax-deductible donation in lieu of a refund.

TEAM FUNDS $150–$300

Teams collect a team fund from every family that ranges from $150–$250 for the season. This fund covers summer/winter tournament entry fees and an end-of-season party. This fund is in addition to the club fees and varies from team to team. Team funds are determined by the coach and collected at the first team meeting of the year. Dues are always divided evenly among families and are not subject to discount based on individual availability.

UNIFORMS $350

Players are required to purchase the uniform through Soccer.com. Boys order uniforms on even-numbered tryout years, and girls order on odd-numbered tryout years. If your player needs a uniform this year, you will receive an email from Soccer.com when items are available to purchase. Club fan gear can be purchased at any time. Learn more about uniforms.

Teams typically play 8–9 months of the year.

Practices are twice a week and begin in early June. Practice schedules are determined by the individual coaches within guidelines set by the club. Practices are held at Marymoor Park, Perrigo Park, Juanita High School, Lake Washington High School, Redmond Ridge, or seasonally at 60 Acres.

Travel is generally within a 90-minute radius of Redmond and within King and Snohomish Counties.

Select offers a level of competition higher than Recreational soccer, but a tier lower than Crossfire Premier. Select teams play in the North Puget Sound League. Teams are placed in divisions within this league based on the team’s level of play with like opponents. Teams play in 3 summer tournaments, a 10–12 game fall league (except high school girls who play Nov–Feb), and then the WSYSA Founders Cup in the winter and early spring months. There is also an opportunity for a 6-match spring league for U9–U14 teams.

The time commitment for Select is higher than Recreational soccer. Select teams typically play 8–9 months of the year and practice twice per week. While the soccer gets more competitive, the main goals are still having fun and growing as individuals and as a team.

The differences between Select and Premier are less severe than between Rec and Select. There is typically—especially if you compare a Select “A” team to a Premier “A” team—an obvious difference in skill set, speed of play, and quality of competition. In addition:

  • Select is less time commitment than Premier. Select usually plays 8–9 months per year, while Premier usually demands year-round play.
  • Select registration costs are approximately $950 per year, while Premier can be over $2,500 per year (not including team fees, which differ for each program).

If you are looking for a year-round program, we can connect you with Crossfire Premier.
