We are thrilled to announce that 2016 marks the 50th Anniversary of Washington Youth Soccer. It has taken a passionate and dedicated team to bring organized soccer to every corner of Washington State and we are honored to celebrate every youth player, coach, family, staff member and volunteer that have been a part of the past 50 years of Washington Youth Soccer.
It takes a team
A yearlong series of celebrations are planned to commemorate the anniversary, all leading up to the Washington Youth Soccer 50 Year Anniversary Gala scheduled for September 9, 2016 at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue. This will be an evening not to be missed filled with fun and excitement including live and silent auctions, gourmet dinner, featured speakers, and the presentation of the top soccer players and soccer citizen awards spanning the past 50 years.
We invite you to join us in celebrating 50 years of youth soccer!
In 2016, Washington Youth Soccer will launch a
Foundation focused on leveling the playing field.
Proceeds from the 50 Year Anniversary Gala will
support the Foundation in growing the Soccer for Success program, as well as providing grants to support the core Foundation goals:
- Increasing opportunities and access to youth soccer for underserved youth and communities
- Supporting Washington Youth Soccer member organizations in expanding their capacity to provide more safe, youth development programming
