Overview

Mission

It is the mission of Washington youth soccer to foster the physical, mental and emotional growth and development of the state of Washington's youth through the sport of soccer at all levels of age and competition.

What it reported doing in 2024

Elite player development: wys administered high-level training and access to competitions for 450 youth soccer players to support development and provide talent identification opportunities. Additionally, the program also offered development opportunities for 30 youth soccer coaches.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
