Southeast Soccer Club

The Mission of the Southeast Soccer is to develop the youth soccer player through a developmental soccer philosophy. The philosophy of positive teaching by role-models provides a nurturing environment for each player to gain self-confidence, self-motivation and self-discipline. All players are challenged and supported by the curriculum while forming friendships with the staff and fellow players. Southeast Soccer Club (SESC) is centered in the Southeast neighborhoods of Portland, Oregon and we are one of the largest soccer clubs in the city. SESC serves over 1100 players each year, fielding over 50 teams playing from U6 through U14. Our teams play recreational, development and competitive soccer at all levels. Many of our players have gone on to play in high school, for high-level competitive teams and clubs, and some have been on teams that won the Oregon State Cup. Regardless of their level of play, if the kids have fun and learn the great game of soccer, we have done well. We hope that all who have worn an SESC jersey have gone on to adulthood with a lifelong passion for the game and the values that our club fosters. SESC's mission is simple - we exist to facilitate children playing soccer. We always keep that in mind as we develop programs and make decisions for club play. We are a 501(c)3 corporation, and are always happy to accept donations or sponsorships. SESC is probably one of only clubs in the league that does not impose fundraising on their players and families. We made a commitment to all of our families not to add to the ongoing school funding, scouting, etc., or make requests with sales of any merchandise. Southeast Soccer Club is affiliated with Portland Youth Soccer Association (PYSA), Oregon Youth Soccer Association (OYSA), United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) and United States Soccer Federation (USSF).
