Sounders FC.  Ryan Gustafson a youth liaison for the Sounders FC will be working with our club and others to build a strong relationship between the Sounders and clubs in Western Washington.

Sideline Behavior.  Skagit Refs received a report of inappropriate coach, sideline, and player behavior at a match last weekend.  Coaches and Managers: It is your responsibility to ensure that your conduct, that of your players and their parents on the sidelines meets the highest standards of youth soccer.  Shortly, we will send all NWUnited members and coaches a reminder of appropriate conduct at matches.  And for that matter, at practices also.  We are also revising our standards to make clear that inappropriate language and behavior violate commitments to the club, the team, and youth soccer.
