What westside metros fc does

Westside Metros FC is a private nonprofit soccer club founded in 1993 and headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, operating a comprehensive player development platform spanning foundational youth (U6) through adult semi-professional soccer. The club serves youth players and their families across the Pacific Northwest, with program locations in Beaverton, Tualatin/Sherwood, and the Columbia Gorge region (Hood River, The Dalles, White Salmon). Its competitive teams participate in top-tier US youth soccer platforms including the Girls Academy League (joined 2024/2025) and MLS Next Academy Division for boys (U13-U19), while a Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) franchise (member since 2013) and a United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) men's team at the 4th tier of the US Soccer pyramid provide adult semi-professional pathways. Documented outcomes include WPSL players advancing to NWSL clubs (Portland Thorns, Seattle Reign FC), international clubs across 8+ countries, and 40+ college programs including Notre Dame, UNC, USC, and Oregon State.

The club's product portfolio includes developmental programs (Metros Academy for U7-U10 at $425 per session, Mighty Metros for U6 at $250), competitive youth teams in OYSA leagues, Girls Academy, and MLS Next, plus the annual adidas Beaverton Cup tournament that hosted 357 teams across 62 divisions in 2025 — the largest edition in the tournament's history. Coaching is delivered by USSF licensed staff including a Technical Director holding a USSF A License, separate Directors of Coaching for boys and girls programs, and a Metros Academy Director with USSF C License.

Revenue is generated through three principal streams: player registration and program fees (recurring, varying by age and program level), tournament entry fees ($645-$995 per team depending on age group and registration timing), and merchandise sales (scarves, apparel, and fan gear via office sales, a Tursis Soccer retail partnership, and a Square.site storefront). The go-to-market model is community-led, anchored by annual tryouts held in May, supplemental year-round registration, direct-to-consumer enrollment through westsidemetros.org and the OTTO Sport registration portal, and grassroots awareness via the TikTok channel (@wsmetrosfc) and an email mailing list.
