Impact and Access

Highline Premier FC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, community-based soccer club serving families across West Seattle, Burien, SeaTac, and the surrounding Highline area.



Access to play is central to who we are. We believe that no player should be denied the opportunity to play soccer because of financial circumstances. Through financial assistance, community support, and local partnerships, we work to reduce barriers while maintaining consistent coaching, programming, and standards across the club.

Access to Play


Access at Highline Premier FC is built into how the club operates, not treated as a special circumstance or a one-off solution. Financial assistance is built into how teams are supported across the club, not treated as a special circumstance or a one-off solution.


On average, at least one player per team receives financial assistance each season. This approach helps ensure that participation is based on commitment, effort, and development rather than financial circumstance alone, and allows players to remain fully integrated within their teams.

Financial support at Highline is designed to be meaningful.



  • Awards often cover more than 50 percent of tuition
  • Assistance can include uniform and team-related fees
  • Support reflects the true cost of participation

Support is focused on continuity and stability.



  • Players remain fully engaged with their teams
  • Families are able to stay in the program long-term
  • Development is not disrupted by short-term hardship

Community Support Through Giving


The Financial Assistance Fund is supported primarily through community giving, with the club’s annual auction serving as the primary fundraising driver. As Highline Premier FC has grown, so has the responsibility to ensure that access keeps pace with participation.



Community support allows the club to reduce financial barriers for players while maintaining consistent coaching, training standards, and local programming. These funds are reinvested directly into player participation and community access.

How Access Works at Highline

Community giving supports access in tangible ways.



  • Funds are reinvested directly into participation
  • Support helps offset core program costs
  • Giving strengthens stability across teams

Giving reflects shared values within the club.



  • Families and partners invest locally
  • Growth is paired with responsibility
  • Access remains aligned with the club’s mission

Community Actions, Done Locally

Food Drive

Donations are collected annually during Picture Day and distributed to the West Seattle Food Bank, supporting families within our broader community.

Cleat Exchange

Gently used cleats collected at Picture Day are donated to the West Seattle Soccer Club cleat exchange, helping keep equipment in circulation locally.

Day of Service

Players, families, and staff support Seattle City Parks by cleaning shared spaces and repairing goals at Walt Hundley Playfield.

These efforts are modest in scale but intentional and recurring. Service at Highline is not a standalone initiative or a special event. It is part of how the club shows up season after season and how players and families learn responsibility, stewardship, and connection to the places where they play.

Why This Matters

  • Soccer should be accessible to all families, regardless of financial circumstances
  • Shared access strengthens teams, programs, and the broader club community
  • Reducing barriers helps players stay engaged, supported, and connected over time

At Highline Premier FC, access, community, and development are connected.


When barriers are reduced, players can focus on learning, belonging, and growing through the game.
