The PUSC is a premier competitive arm of the South Snohomish County Youth Soccer Association (SSCYSA). The recreational and select teams from within the SSCYSA are the feeders to the premier level of play. We are proud to be associated with these clubs and their players.

Our sincere thanks to the managers of the various clubs for their dedication and commitment to the game in allowing us to providing an environment for the children to develop and grow.
Philosophy
Our program was designed to accommodate those soccer players that aspire to play at the highest level of competition. This program is designed to provide all players with a fundamental base in technical and tactical skills along with an appreciation for the game of soccer. Our club has designed a program that provides each player with the opportunity to improve their soccer ability by stressing the basic fundamental techniques as the foundation for the younger age groups. Then building on those techniques with advanced training for older players.
Our players enjoy the bonding experience they have with their teammates from traveling and competing together. Our competitive players compete as impact players at their respective high schools and will go on to pursue college soccer and academic scholarships, like many of our players have already done. Former NWN players are now competing at the Division I, II, III and NAIA programs across the United States.
Our Club’s success in the area of player development is shown by the performance of our teams and individual player honors. Northwest Nationals plays the most competitive teams in State, Regional and National Championships and we currently have US National Pool and Regional Team players in our mix. The success of these teams and players is the result of the dedication of the players and their parents, the quality of the NWN Coaching Staff and overall commitment by NWN to long-term development of the individual player.
General Info
Northwest Nationals Premier Soccer Club is a competitive soccer club organized to provide the highest level of competition in the SSCYSA. Northwest Nationals is a non-profit organization (Click Here for Form 1023) with approximately 600 players and 40+ teams ranging in age from U10 to U18.
Overall, all teams play about 11-12 months out of each year, except our U10’s which play about 9 months. The league season for boys & girls U10 to U18 is from September to March. All of our teams participate in tournaments over the summer and our older premier teams will be in showcases throughout the summer. Practices begin shortly after tryouts in May. The league season culminates in State Cup where all competitive teams entering are initially randomly matched in a bracket (U11-U12). Those teams that win advance in an elimination tournament until eventually a State Champion is chosen for each age group. WSYL and PDL Teams (U13-U18) are seeded into brackets depending on league results. State Cup begins January-March for BU15-18 and March-May for all other age groups. Depending on how far NWN teams go may result in the final State Cup Championship games and Regional Championships games to prepare for in July of each year.
Tryouts for Northwest Nationals are held in March for BU15-18 and April-May for all other age groups. Once a player is offered and accepts a spot on a team, that player is guided through the registration process by our Club Administrators and Coaches.
