What Pacific Northwest Soccer Club does

Pacific Northwest Soccer Club (PacNW) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit youth soccer organization founded in 2012 and headquartered in Tukwila, Washington, serving the Puget Sound region. The club operates a tiered competitive and developmental programming structure spanning ECNL and ECNL-RL (national elite, U13-U18), RCL (regional competitive, U8-U19), NPSL (local competitive, U8-U12, launching 2026/27), recreational programs (Federal Way and Southlake FC), and PAC Micros (ages 3-6). Annual club fees range from $150 for recreational U5-U6 to $3,595 for ECNL U13-U19, with the club operating on a subscription-style annual billing cycle and supplementing revenue through tournament entry fees (Winter Classic, Summer Blast Off, Summer Jamboree), camps and clinics, biennial Nike uniform sales via Soccer.com, a $15,000-prize annual raffle, and a business directory sponsorship program.

The club is anchored at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, which hosts tryouts, training, tournaments, and the Summer College ID Camp featuring 30+ college coaches. PacNW operates formal partnerships with the Elite Clubs National League, Washington Youth Soccer, the Regional Club League, the North Puget Sound League, Starfire Sports Complex, Nike, Soccer.com, SportsRecruits (free to all U15+ members), and multiple local soccer associations. Technology infrastructure is built on standard SaaS tools — PlayMetrics for registration and team communication, Event Connect for tournament operations, SportsRecruits for college recruiting, and Bonzi/Blue Sombrero for ancillary registration. The leadership team is led by CEO Malia Arrant (since 2012), with Director of Coaching Pedro Millan (former Real Madrid FC staff) overseeing boys programs and multiple licensed directors overseeing girls, goalkeeping, and player development.
