Registration

Thank you for registering on time! BHYS has over 700 players on 64 teams! Some teams still have openings for coaches and players. If you know someone who wants to join Fall soccer, send them this link: Registration for Fall 2026.

Air Quality Guidance

Games and practices should be canceled when the air quality index (AQI) reaches 150 or above. Parents can make their own AQI decisions based on the health concerns for their player.

Cleat Exchange Box

Do your kids outgrow their cleats long before they wear them out? Wish you could simply trade them up? Drop off & pick up used cleats at our cleat exchange box located in the Black Job Box, 30 yards west of the Jefferson Skate Park. Ask your coach or team manager for the combination to open the box.

Volunteers Needed

BHYS is operated entirely by volunteers. Please consider registering as a volunteer through our registration portal. Every team needs:

  1. Head coach and an assistant coach for backup & occasional refereeing
  2. Team Manager who coordinates jersey distribution to game snacks
  3. Volunteer support for field & equipment management and board admin

Beacon Hill Reuses Team Jerseys

Beacon Hill Soccer Club provides jerseys at no cost. Coaches collect jerseys at the end of the season so you can have another one that fits well next year. Let's keep our costs low. If you have last year's jersey, used soccer balls, or other soccer gear to return, please drop them off in the Brown Job Box west of the Jefferson Skate Park. The brown box is not locked — lift the handle straight up to open.

AED Location for Jefferson Park

In case of a cardiac arrest, the closest AED for Jefferson Park Sports Plateau is inside the front door of Jefferson Park Community Center. Current hours of operation are Mon–Wed 7am–9pm, Thu–Fri 7am–8pm; closed Sat & Sun. Also, Seattle Fire House 13 is located at the corner of Beacon Ave & Spokane.
