Crossfire Select Soccer Club

What Crossfire Select Soccer Club does

Crossfire Select Soccer Club is a non-profit competitive youth soccer club founded in 2003 in Redmond, Washington, operating under the Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association (LWYSA), a 501(c)(3) umbrella organization. The club fields approximately 58 teams across U9–U19 age groups serving roughly 900 players in the Redmond, Kirkland, and Sammamish corridor, with a 9-month competitive season and optional spring programming. It is volunteer-led with a lean staff of 7, governed by an elected board, and relies on volunteer coaches, parent managers, and an elected referee pipeline (EKCSRA/WASRC) to operate.

The core product is competitive player development, differentiated by named coaching talent (Director of Coaching Hugo Alcaraz-Cuellar, former USSF B-licensed pro with Portland Timbers/Seattle Sounders pedigree; Brad Evans, former MLS/US national team player leading Friday Night sessions) and a portfolio of free add-on programs including goalkeeper training, technical training, Golden Boot summer sessions, the Ballon d'Or clinic, and a partnership with one.soccer for summer camp. The club also operates the annual Crossfire Select Cup, a 3-day tournament at 60 Acres Soccer Park (28 grass fields) that drew 302 teams in 2017 and is targeting 280+ in 2026.

Revenue is generated through a mix of club registration fees ($999/season), team fees ($150–$300), the annual tournament ($795–$950 per external team), uniform sales through Soccer.com, optional spring programs ($195 Spring League, futsal, supplemental training), and modest sponsorship from named partners. There is no proprietary technology; operations run on TeamSnap, Cognito Forms, Athletes 2 Events, SignUpGenius, and Soccer.com. Scholarships (Level A: $0 + uniform; Level B: $475) and a $2,000 college scholarship for up to 10 seniors annually support affordability.
