It serves over 900 players annually across the Marysville, Arlington, and Lakewood school districts, delivering a tiered development pathway from early childhood through competitive youth soccer. The organization operates four programs: Micros (ages 3-6, $95 plus $3 service fee, uniform included), Recreational (ages 7-19, $135 plus $3 service fee), Force Academy (ages 7-8, transitional pathway), and Force Select (ages 9-19, competitive travel program with licensed coaches). Programs are affiliated with the North County Youth Soccer Association and operate under Washington Youth Soccer guidelines, including SafeSport certification requirements.

PSA runs a volunteer-driven community model supported by a 14-person Executive Board (President Sean Fitzsimons, VP Dave Corbett, VP Tyler Wells, and others) and approximately six paid staff. Operations center on the 152nd Street Soccer Complex (six fields) supplemented by eight practice field locations at Marysville, Arlington, and Lakewood school district facilities, anchored by a ten-year lease with Marysville School District. Registration is handled through Stack Sports' Sports Connect platform, with seasonal open registration windows for Spring (January-March) and Fall (April-June). Revenue is generated primarily through player registration fees, with ancillary streams from concessions, hosted tournaments (Turkey Shoot, Tune Up Jamboree), uniform sales, and corporate sponsorships (Seattle Children's Hospital, Bud Barton's Glass Company). The club is governed by its bylaws and Board of Directors and has no parent company, private equity backing, or institutional investment structure.
