Costa Norte FC was created in the Spring of 2015 to give area youth an opportunity to play competitive soccer on the same level as the elite clubs in the Portland, OR area. CNFC has grown and now has three boys teams U11, U10, and U8-9. Last year, we were able to create a U10 girls team and hope to grow the girls side of the program in 2017. Unlike most competitive traveling teams, Costa Norte FC
aims to be completely affordable for every kid who wants to play. A competitive club in the Portland area can run $500-$750 per season. Often times, uniforms cost $100 or more. Many of the youth on Costa Norte FC can't afford that price tag. CNFC costs $40 per year and includes a jersey. Anyone who can't afford to pay gets a scholarship and pays absolutely nothing to be on the team and get a jersey. Sometimes, CNFC steps up to purchase shin guards and soccer cleats for those that can't afford them. Many kids come from non-English speaking homes. Coaches volunteer their time and often need to pick-up and drop-off less affluent kids whose parents are working long shifts to make ends meet.
