The leadership, the quality of the fields/gym, the equipment, the communication, and indeed their vision to connect us and give us all the chance to play is top notch.

    —5th Grade Soccer League Participant

  • "NSYS is doing something nobody else is doing - providing quality sports experiences to those who couldn't otherwise afford it. I love what they're doing, and how they're doing it. My family is very grateful, and I look forward to many years of partnership ahead."

    — Nick Taylor, dad and coach

  • "I can’t say enough good things about this program. It’s truly a community of people that want to continue to build and strengthen their community. I learned so much coaching for the first time, and was so supported by Trent and Karlie. My two daughters haven’t played sports much, primarily due to the cost, but they had such a great time and learned so much. NSYS is amazing. I look forward to many more seasons to come."

    —Parent & Coach

  • "Playing soccer with my friends was lots of fun!"

    - James C. 3rd Grade Participant

  • "We are so impressed with the quality of programming for North Seattle Youth Sports. This is a free youth sports program that is providing club level training for the kids. The directors are fabulous and provide training for the coaches and plenty of communication for the parents. I've coached in other leagues before and never have I been given a coaching kit that included balls, cones, pennys, and game jerseys for each kid on day one! I highly recommend NSYS!"

    - Scott C. Parent and Coach
