Professional
In the summer of 1988, McCormick spent the collegiate off season with the semi-professional F.C. Portland of the Western Soccer Alliance. When he left college after the 1988 fall collegiate season, he rejoined the team which had become a fully professional team known as the Portland Timbers. In the fall of 1989, McCormick also signed with the Tacoma Stars of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). Over the next two years, he would alternate between these two teams, playing outdoor with the Timbers in 1990 and indoor with the Stars in 1990–1991. In 1992, McCormick signed with the Canton Invaders of the indoor National Professional Soccer League (NPSL). He played two winter indoor seasons with the Invaders (1992–1993 and 1993–1994). In the summer of 1993, he played with the Portland Pride of the Continental Indoor Soccer League (CISL). In 1994, McCormick signed with the expansion Seattle Sounders of the American Professional Soccer League. He spent three seasons with the Sounders, then moved to the Seattle SeaDogs of the CISL for the summer of 1997. The SeaDogs won the championship, then folded. McCormick returned to the Sounders for the 1998 season, but moved to the Florida ThunderCats of the NPSL. The ThunderCats lasted only one season and McCormick signed with the Sounders as a free agent in April 2000.
