Cashmere Youth Soccer to Join Wenatchee Fire FC

CASHMERE, WA— (Press Release) Cashmere Youth Soccer and the Wenatchee Fire FC are pleased to announce the merger of both clubs, effective immediately. Recreational soccer will still be offered on a local level and everything you have grown to love and respect about the Cashmere program. We will work to maintain it as we bring the many enhancements that the Fire offers. “This merger validates our commitment to advance the game by partnering with recreational clubs to develop players and coaches alike. Our day to day involvement will allow us to implement age appropriate training curriculum with credentialed and experienced staff, enhancing both the player and coaches’ ability to thoroughly enjoy the game while increasing opportunities for competitive advancement. Everyone wins; our players, our coaches, our club and our schools” said Mike Osborn, Director of Coaching for the Wenatchee Fire FC.

Cashmere Youth Soccer has done an outstanding job building and maturing a youth soccer program not only focusing on playing the game of soccer but using it to develop life skills and fitness habits for our players, preparing them for a successful, happy and healthy life. Wenatchee Fire FC operates with the primary mission of “Developing today’s player into tomorrow’s game changer”.
