Welcome!

The Magnolia Soccer Club (MSC) is a recreational youth soccer league serving players in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle. We are a member of the Seattle Youth Soccer Association and conform with the schedules and regulations of the organization.
We are entirely volunteer led and operated. Thank you to our team of Board Members and coaches who make each season memorable for the kids of Magnolia!
Registration for the Fall 2024 season is now closed. 

MOD Soccer U6-U9


MOD (or modified) Soccer is for ages 5-8. The teams and fields are smaller than the traditional soccer format. Our MOD league is a developmental soccer program for younger players. Teams compete against other Magnolia teams with an emphasis on skill development. Scores are not kept and there are no standings. Players will receive a shirt which they can keep at the end of the season. Soccer cleats and shinguards must be provided by each player.

U6 and U7 divisions play two games simultaneously, each with a 3v3 format. This allows players more time with the ball and creates a faster-moving game, with frequent substitutions and each player playing a variety of field positions.

U8 and U9 divisions play one game at a time. U8 plays 4v4 and U9 5v5, each with the addition of a goalkeeper.

Players must be age 5-8 by Aug 1 of the current year to participate. For more information, visit our FAQs.

  • Season: September and October
  • End of season tournament:  “World Cup” in late October

Association Soccer U10-U18


Association Soccer is recreational soccer. Player selection for teams is not based on ability or by any tryout process. The Association is part of Seattle Youth Soccer Association (SYSA) which consists of 14 neighborhood clubs. Teams stay together year-to-year, with the exception of teams being combined due to natural attrition over time. Teams compete in the SYSA City Tournament.

End of Season Events


MOD World Cup
Each year we have an end of season World Cup celebration for our U6-U9 players at Interbay Stadium. Kids parade into the stadium supporting their designated country teams. Family and friends fill the stadium bleachers to cheer the teams on as they play 3 rounds of games on the turf field.

U10 Jamboree
U10 is the first year of Association Soccer where the teams play around the city instead of playing against Magnolia teams. U10 does not participate in the U6-U9 World Cup or the U11-U18 City Tournament. MSC created the Magnolia Cup to give our U10 teams an end of season event and also the opportunity to play their Magnolia friends. Scoring starts at the U11 age, but for this end of season event we introduce the concept of scoring for a friendly home competition and to get them ready for next season. The U10 Jamboree is held at our Bayview fields.

City Tournament
SYSA hosts the end of year City Tournament for our U11-U18 teams. This is a double elimination tournament hosted around various Seattle locations. Visit http://sysa.org for more details.
