Joining Timbers Army FC

Why should our team be a Timbers Army FC team?

Financial Burden

If you are a manager, we take the financial burden off of you and front your team registration fees for your league instead of that big check falling on you. This means you don’t have to personally float the funds for registration or worry about collecting from your team months before the season. Managers collect from their players and pay back the cost after the season gets going. We do add a small fee for handling your team fees upfront. Teams can also choose to handle their initial registration feeds. The goal is to put the fun back in the game for you.

Equipment
Not only do you have access to discounts at partner soccer stores and distributors through the 107IST network, we can also leverage your team’s fees to defray the cost of new corner flags, nets, and balls needed to compete.

Exposure
Your team will be listed on the 107IST website. We will occasionally post about your team on various social media such as the site blog, Facebook, and other social media outlets.

Professional Look
We leverage our existing connections with jersey manufacturers and distributors as well as our buying power with vendors to get your team looking professional and together. The seasons of unmatched white shirts with tape for numbers are over.

Recruiting

We offer access to thousands of members who are interested in the sport, and many who can serve as new recruits for new or existing teams as well as subs for existing teams. The 107IST, Timbers Army, and Riveters supporters offer one of the best recruiting grounds for quality players, as well as lasting friendships with like-minded people.

What types of teams are eligible to play in the Timbers Army FC setup?

TAFC is comprised of teams in many leagues across the Portland metro area:

• Greater Portland Soccer District (outdoor): men's open 1st-4th divisions and age divisions for players over 30, over 40 and over 50.
• Northwest United Women's Soccer League (outdoor): open and over-30 division.
• Portland Co-ed Soccer League (outdoor): recreational teams.

We are interested in adding and creating teams that will compete in the various indoor, coed, women’s, Over-30, Over-40, Over-50 and futsal leagues around the metro area. If you are unsure whether your team fits into this, just ask; we can consider each request on a case-by-case basis.
