North Tacoma Soccer Club  would like to introduce their new Player Development Program,    FC Tacoma PDP!

This program will offer supplemental training to players looking to advance their abilities.

These programs will operate year round. 

FC Tacoma PDP will follow the proven methodology of ACF Fiorentina, one of the top teams in Serie A.

Giuseppe Pezzano, owner of OSA Soccer Group (Nortac’s player development partner) will also provide training to local coaches. Mr. Pezzano understands the importance of developing local coaches; he will invite ACF Fiorentina certified trainers from abroad to participate in our club’s evolving soccer culture. This will be FREE to ALL coaches in the club!

ACF Fiorentina’s Methodology creator is Professor Vincenzo Vergine. Mr. Vergine has been refining his methodology during his more than 20 years of both practical and academic work. His work includes Italian players both at the youth and senior level. The methodology places an emphasis on the early development of a player’s motor skills, coordination abilities, technical abilities and tactical understanding.

This development of our players and coaches will be under the supervision of Mr. Vergine making FC Tacoma an official ACF Fiorentina satellite club!

The board of directors and myself are excited about this opportunity to offer a proven training method to players interested in improving their game.

FUTSAL Season is Here

Nortac is excited to bring you another session of Futsal.  Register here.  The cost is FREE and is a great opportunity for your player(s) to hone some skills, learn new ones, start thinking about fall Rec soccer, Sparta tryouts and while having a great time.  Please feel free to pass this email along to anyone who would be interested in participating.  And as always, we are in constant need for volunteers to staff the sessions.

Please contact Ed Pereira with any questions - email

Futsal is a fast-paced, five vs. five, soccer game played both indoors and out. Futsal is played on basketball-sized courts with no sidewalls. Futsal develops skill by demanding quick reflexes, fast thinking and pin-point passing. It is played with a special low-bounce ball necessitating players to use their skills, rather than the ball's bounce to propel it. Futsal is a great training device for the soccer player at any skill level.

Cost: FREE

Location: St. Patrick School Gym, 1112 N. G St. 

Teams: Drop-in format - New teams will be created each session.

Dates:  Sundays; March 30th, April 6th, 13th, 27th and May 4th

Re:  2013 Uniforms

Starting for the 2013 season, Nortac Soccer Club has made several changes to the uniform.

• The double sided jersey will not be used.  Instead a red Adidas Estro jersey will be the main jersey.  This is a single sided jersey.  A double sided jersey  will still be used for the Micro league (ages 4-5)
• Teams U-12 and above will not be provided a jersey as part of the registration fee.  Those teams are now responsible to provide their own jerseys
• In partnership with Sparta and soccer.com, ordering for the jerseys (U-12 and above) as well as partial uniform kits or full kits can be purchased through soccer.com
• The only required uniform item on the website is the jersey.  Purchase of other uniform items are at the discretion of each individual team
• The prices we have secured are very reasonable and have made it very convenient for teams to order uniform items and accessories
