Rain City Soccer’s several teams compete in Seattle’s public leagues, including the GSSL and RATS. Skill levels range from complete beginner/recreational to relatively competitive. If you want to join a RCSC team, here’s what to do:
- Research GSSL and RATS to understand specific requirements and fees for the leagues. Some details are determined by the team which you play on (read on).
- Contact your desired team manager (see below) with your soccer experience, skill-level & contact information. Team details and their contact information are listed below. Team captains can provide you detail about how to start playing, including season/game dates, per player costs, locations, etc.
The process of joining a team can take a little while depending on various factors including league schedules, roster capacity, and your own commitment and reliability, so please be patient with the process to join on of these amazing teams.
Looking to start a new team, and get more queer players out on the field? Check out the RATS FAQ and Team Registration Page to find out how to register. If you’d like some tips on how to navigate the registration process, how to gather a team, and how to get your season started, feel free to reach out to salem.lemmon@gmail.com for advice.
And remember — you’re always welcome to our $5 Sunday Kickabouts. Kickabouts are weekly 60-90 minute scrimmages with beginners to advanced players in attendance. Checkout our events webpage for Kickabout details.

Useful Information for Players who are New to the Club and Seattle: RCSC is a club, not a soccer league, so we don’t control or manage game cost/fees, game schedules, manage rosters, enforce rules, etc. Team details are handled by each of the team’s manager, who is the team’s contact with the Seattle leagues. Players should direct their questions to respective team managers. If there’s an opening on a team, the team’s manager will have specifics on how to register, cost, game locations, uniforms, player expectations, socializing, etc. Getting registered, paying, and other aspects of playing soccer are the responsibility of the player.
In general, games are played across the Seattle area and usually 10-20 minutes driving from downtown Seattle (e.g. the Space Needle). RCSC volunteers are unable to provide financial support or transportation to players. People are encouraged to connect with fellow players for carpooling.
