New! PCFC Family Services Program
With your support, PCFC's goal is to provide a safe, inclusive, community-based program that promotes physical health while tending to the whole athlete. Our "whole athlete” approach provides young people with competitive athletic training and wraparound services that include nutritional provisions, social-emotional care, mentorship, education support, and community referrals for the whole family.

Power of 11

A team is more than the 11 players on the field or the game-changers on the sidelines. A team is made from the community surrounding our players, from our parents to coaches, to our Board and donors working tirelessly to ensure our PCFC youth players have equitable opportunities to gain experiences on and off the field. Will you help join our cause? 

A recurring gift of $11 will support our Food on the Field initiative to make sure 100% of our players receive nutritious food at each practice, game, and tournaments so they are ready, energized, and focused on reaching their goals! Make Your Gift Today! Click Here.

The first time our Board of Directors were able to meet in person!


"It was so much fun and filled my heart with immense love and gratitude for all of these wonderful people. The bright and bold future of PCFC is in good hands!"
- Kaig Lightner, Founding Executive Director

This past weekend was filled with a Board of Directors gathering, a evening of cheering on the Timbers, and having a great Saturday morning celebrating our PCFC youth players during their weekend games.
