Southeast Soccer Club (SESC) is centered in the Southeast neighborhoods of Portland, Oregon. We are one of the largest soccer clubs in the city, as well as one of the oldest, being one of the founding clubs of the Portland Youth Soccer Association. 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.
Regardless of their level of play, if the kids have fun and learn the great game of soccer, we as a club have done well – Southeast Soccer hopes that all who have worn an SESC jersey have gone on to adulthood with a lifelong passion for the game, as well as 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) nonprofit organization, 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. We believe this to be a responsible choice and know how much it is appreciated. However, we know there are opportunities available that wouldn’t impose family hardship and we need to actively pursue this venue. If you would consider a donation to the season of play, please note that on your registration material and submit payment with your registration. Likewise, if you are a family with kids that want to play but the costs are a hurdle we do have a limited amount of funds for scholarships, please contact us for more details.
Our programs are tailored to meet the goals of each player within their individual skill set.
