Discover a SAN FRANCISCO soccer program for the talented & committed player seeking college play and beyond.
|
• We are a San Francisco soccer program that offers U.S. Soccer Development Academy and automatic-entry NPL play for both Boys and Girls at U12 (no other San Francisco club offers this).
• We are the ONLY club in San Francisco with girls and boys teams playing in NPL Champions League (highest level of play). • Teams in our program receive over 50 hours of additional training time annually versus comparable age-groups at San Francisco youth clubs. • We avoid leagues/divisions with too many local or same-club teams as well as multiple meaningless tournaments, allowing us to deliver a training-to-game ratio in line with guidelines from U.S. Soccer. The result is improved player development, reduced player burnout and stress on families. • Our players and teams are afforded the chance to play in top college showcases, significantly increasing their opportunity to be seen and recruited and/or play college soccer. • Our program offers large amounts of financial aid so that NO PLAYER is denied on the basis of being unable to pay. |
• We were the first San Francisco soccer club to receive a Players First License from US Club based on our program excellence and standards that benefit players and families.
• Our players are supported with unique soccer-enhancing programs like Soccer Performance and Peak Performance, as well as sports medicine partners who help players return from injury. • Our staff includes 12 Nationally-licensed coaches, 2 current NCAA Division I head coaches, 2 current community college head coaches, and 3 former MLS/NASL professionals. And our coaches' networks span NCAA Division I,II, and III; NAIA, ODP/PDP, as well as USSDA and ECNL clubs, giving our players unmatched access to and contacts at the next level. • Our Academy program features a small number of elite teams across boys and girls play, allowing us to focus all of our time and energy on helping our players and teams reach their soccer goals. Each team and their players are treated with respect and care, and led by a highly-licensed, experienced coach. • We have more players participating in PDP and ODP than any other San Francisco club. |

Our leadership will take a professional approach in everything we do as we strive to not just help San Francisco youth soccer but seek the betterment of soccer in the United States.
