Adult Programs - Mt. Rainier Athletic Club

About the Program

MRFC has two adult soccer programs. The U23 men’s and women’s competitive program is an adult amateur soccer league and is part of the Cascadia Premier League based in Washington and Oregon. Our Co-Ed Adult 7v7 Soccer Program is a low-key, no-pressure, recreational league for adults who want to dust off their cleats and have fun! The overwhelming response to this program required a bit of a program change before it even started, but we are rolling with it and will make adjustments and improvements as we go! We are very excited to offer both of these programs to the community.

Adult U23

The Cascadia Premier League (CPL) is a competitive men’s and women’s adult soccer league. The U23 program will further expand on our premier program while offering current premier players (18 and older) further opportunities to grow/develop as well as allowing MRFC alumni the opportunity to continue being a part of the MRFC family while continuing playing/representing the club.

The Cascadia Premier League consists of various teams throughout the Pacific Northwest and has installed a promotion and relegation system through the leagues levels. Stay tuned for more information.

Questions regarding the upcoming U23 season should be sent to U23 Women’s Coach, James Long or U23 Men’s Coach Jason Gjertsen

FAQs

Why should adults continue to play recreational sports?

Adults should continue to play recreational sports for several compelling reasons. Engaging in sports beyond childhood offers many physical, mental, and social benefits. Here are some key advantages:

Physical Health: Regular participation in recreational sports helps maintain and improve physical fitness, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
Stress Relief: Sports provide an effective outlet for stress relief, releasing endorphins that promote relaxation and mental well-being.
Social Interaction: Playing sports fosters social connections and teamwork, enhancing one’s social life and building strong friendships.
Cognitive Benefits: Sports challenge the mind through strategy and decision-making, improving cognitive skills like problem-solving and focus.
Work-Life Balance: Engaging in recreational sports helps adults achieve a healthy work-life balance by encouraging physical activity and leisure.
Fun and Enjoyment: Most importantly, recreational sports are fun and enjoyable, making them a sustainable and fulfilling hobby for adults of all ages.

Continuing to play recreational sports as an adult contributes to overall well-being, offering a holistic approach to physical and mental health while fostering social connections and personal enjoyment.
