Where Girls Thrive
The benefits of girls playing sports are well documented. But, by age 14, girls drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys (learn more). There are a variety of contributing factors, including lack of access, safety concerns, social stigma, decreased quality of experience, cost, and lack of positive role models.
As a women-led organization that puts girls first, we are uniquely positioned to honor, celebrate, and champion girls in their development, on and off the field. At West Sound Soccer Academy, girls are inspired to keep playing soccer and set up to thrive.
VALUES DRIVEN
Our core values of grit, integrity, and commitment guide us in everything we do. They drive our coaches on and off the field and are what we seek to instill in our players at all times.
“Growing up playing at a girls’ soccer club in Southern California was foundational in teaching me the concepts of leadership, confidence, and hard work– three values that I carry with me today.”
Katie Drovdahl, West Sound Soccer Academy Director of Coaching
purpose BUILT FOR GIRLS & WOMEN
West Sound Soccer Academy empowers, educates, and supports girls who play soccer and women who coach in communities west of Puget Sound: Bainbridge Island, Suquamish, Kingston, Poulsbo, Bremerton, Belfair, the Kitsap Peninsula, and beyond.
Our soccer programs are purpose built by women for girls. Research from the US Soccer Foundation shows that programs and training environments designed specifically for girls positively impact participation and engagement. And, our holistic program approach goes beyond the field- we’ve partnered with local businesses and professionals to include strength & conditioning, yoga, injury prevention, and mental skills in our team program.
