Emerald City Football Club (ECFC)

Emerald City Football Club (ECFC) has introduced its new Elite Academy (EA) Program as part of the club’s 2026–27 season offerings. Starting winter and spring, ECFC will field six EA teams for boys aged U13 through U18/19, who will compete in the nationally recognized EA League, offering a higher level of competition than the club’s current Washington Premier League (WPL) teams. The club will continue operating Green, White, and Blue WPL teams. EA squads will train three times weekly, including practices, film sessions, and team meetings, and will participate in the Pacific Northwest Conference, with games primarily played within the Puget Sound region. Registration fees for EA teams are estimated at $2,950 plus associated kit, team, and travel costs. ECFC aims to extend its program to include girls in the Girls Academy League in future seasons.
