MRFC is committed to a holistic fun and enjoyable learning player first approach. We pride ourselves in developing excellence in the individual and team performances through a consistent and comprehensive training methodology program.
We strive to provide our players with professional level training, to offer the best possible playing environments, and to develop and nurture the skills and confidence necessary to play at the sport’s highest levels. We pride ourselves on the ability to get a player to the next level, collegiately or professionally.
Teams participate in two to three training sessions per week, league play, and tournaments throughout the year. Our teams compete in the Elite Academy (Boys), Development Player League (Girls) and the Washington Premier League (Boys & Girls). League games take place on weekends, with occasional double-headers, and may be local, statewide, regional or national, depending on the team’s division and age.
Mt. Rainier Futbol Club participates in the Washington Premier League (WPL) and is committed to developing competitive soccer in the Northwest and making it accessible to everyone with a passion for the game. The WPL is a state and region-wide NPL league sanctioned by US Club Soccer.
The Elite Academy (EA) League is composed of member clubs that represent elite competition clubs in their market. EA is a national platform that gives clubs the ability to a full development model and pathway with top competition and exposure. EA competition consists of both conference and regional/national events. Conference competition typically takes place outside of the high school season, allowing players to participate. The EA consists of seven (7) conferences across the country with MRFC competing in the Northwest Pacific Conference.
The Develop Player League’s (DPL) mission is to develop the player and empower the person in a purposeful and memorable environment. The DPL competition consists of both conference and regional/national events. Conference competition typically takes place outside of the high school season, allowing players to participate. The DPL consists of nine (9) conferences across the country with MRFC competing in the Northwest Conference.
Playing premier soccer is more expensive than recreational or club select programs. MRFC’s fees are broken down by player age groups and are very competitive with our neighboring clubs. MRFC offers monthly payment plans and financial aid based on need. It is a priority of MRFC to make playing competitive soccer possible for any player with desire, drive and dedication.

Player program fees are collected to cover the following expenses: coaches fees, association, state and league fees, referee fees, field and facility rentals and maintenance, and administrative costs. Additional costs include Kit costs and Team fees. Other costs related to specific team activities are the financial responsibility of those teams and players (see Team Fees).
Team fees are unique to each team. This amount is calculated by the team manager and treasurer with the input of the coaching staff to cover the cost of team activities such as tournament entry fees, coach’s travel, group travel, team bonding activities, etc. This amount depends on the level of the team (the DPL, EA and older teams do more travel and enter more expensive tournaments/showcases so their team fees will be higher). Typically, team fees will be discussed in detail at your first team meeting along with a payment schedule.
Mt Rainier FC is committed to making competitive soccer accessible for all players and families. Financial Aid can be applied for during registration and is awarded on a need basis only. The initial $200 registration fee must be paid in order to be eligible for consideration. Financial Aid is awarded based on need and overall number of requests and applies towards Annual Player Program Fees only.
MRFC practice in various locations such as:
Bonney Lake
Buckley
Lake Tapps
Auburn
Sumner
Strategis Breaks are also scheduled throughout the year.
MRFC requires families on financial aid to work 15 hours of volunteer work a year. Those families will be worked with when awarded their financial aid package.
If you’re interested in volunteering any way please email Jamie Giger at jamie.giger@mtrainierfc.org
Club Fundraisers – The Club offers a variety of fundraising opportunities a year that will help support the families in need of financial aid. The events are great ways for families to work their volunteer hours that are required when receiving financial aid.
Team Fundraisers – If opportunities arise, individuals and teams can offset costs such as an individual’s Club or Teams Fees and major costs for teams such as travel expenses or additional tournaments. Fundraising efforts have included volunteering at events at White River Amphitheater, volunteering for Game Day Concessions and Clean Up Crew and Holiday Wreath & Poinsettia Sales. Fundraising is organized through our Director of Operations. Team managers are encouraged to reach out to her directly to help plan your fundraising effort. Jamie Giger at jamie.giger@mtrainierfc.org
Our Premier/Competitive Program is a year-long commitment. When registering you are committing to pay the full amount for the full year of soccer. If you choose to leave for any reason other than stated specifically below, you will still be required to honor your payment plan unless receiving MRFC Board approval.
The MRFC Refund policy is as follows:
The REGISTRATION FEE is NON-REFUNDABLE.
The only exceptions for refunds include:
Medical Refund – If a player has a significant injury or illness and provides medical documentation from a physician that eliminates their participation.
Relocation – If a family relocates mid-season outside of the Puget Sound area
Other – Refunds for any other reason may only be granted with approval from the board. You must submit a written request of your circumstances and email operations@mtrainierfc.org. The board will review and render a decision.
If payments are late by over 30 days a $50 charge will be applied to the account. If a player account is more than 60 days late a player’s card will be withheld meaning they will not be allowed to participate in game play. Every 30 days another $50 charge will be applied to the account. Once plans for payment have been made and approved the player card will be restored.
