A new regional soccer club, the PacNW SC, has been formed by two current RCL clubs, Greater Renton FC and Dos FC.

The new club will provide better opportunities for premier level soccer players throughout the Greater Renton Jr and Kent Youth Soccer Association areas.

Both clubs focus their trainings at the Starfire Sports Complex, share an extensive border, and believe that the combined resources will enhance the premier player’s soccer experience.  Washington Youth Soccer supports the merger and will continue to work with the new club in the details of its creation.

“This is an exciting moment for the Puget Sound Soccer Community,” Technical Director, Leighton O’Brien said. “Pacific Northwest Soccer Club was created from the sole desire to develop the most player friendly soccer club in the state.  We will train and play out of the world class Starfire Sports Complex, which allows us the ability to benefit youth players from all over the Puget Sound area.  Our newly planned training curriculum, followed by all coaches, promotes proper soccer education to all our players.”

“I’m extremely excited about the coaching staff Leighton and I have put together for PacNW SC,” Director of Coaching Malia Arrant said.  “We have 15 ‘A or B’ licensed coaches and many others that are currently going through the licensing process. Our newly formed staff is comprised of great people who are passionate about the game and about developing players to reach their potential.”

The club is a NIKE team club and has several events in the works, including the inaugural PacNW Memorial Day Cup Tournament and the 2012 PacNW College Camp, for U15-U18 players, scheduled for July 24-26.
