PREMIER SOCCER (U8-U19)
THROUGH EASTSIDE FC
Eastside FC is our sister-club, providing the top-tier soccer program within the Eastside Youth Soccer Association (EYSA). They offer the highest level of training and competition for players in the Issaquah community and surrounding areas. Premier soccer is available for athletes in the U8–U18 age groups.
The Premier program requires tryouts, runs year-round, with both fall and spring seasons, includes multiple tournaments, long-distance travel, higher costs, and advanced training designed to challenge and develop players at the elite level.
Many Premier players go on to compete at the highest levels of youth soccer, including high school varsity, college, and beyond.
In soccer, ages are labeled using a “U#” format—so, for example, a 10-year-old would be in the U11 group. Check our Age Chart, based on birth year, to find the right Premier team for your player.
PREMIER PROGRAM DETAILS
TRYOUTS
Most tryouts for Eastside FC are scheduled for late April, with high school boys' tryouts occurring earlier in the year. There are spots available on all teams for strong players, regardless of where they played last season. All teams are formed through the tryout process, which takes place in Preston.
Players are welcome to join practices held between the end of State Cup and the start of tryouts. For coach contact information, please visit the Eastside FC website contact page.
COSTS
There are significant costs to play premier because of the amount of time spent in the program, professional coaches, tournaments, and travel. All registration will take place through Eastside FC and player fee information can be found on the Eastside FC website.
COACHES AND TRAINERS
All Eastside FC Premier teams are led by paid coaches who hold the highest soccer coaching license credentials.
