Competitive

Over 500 players, on 30+ teams, participate in the club’s competitive soccer program. Competitive teams are for boys and girls ages 8 to 18 who show interest and ability to train and play with similarly advanced players. We also have a Comp In Training program for 6-7 year olds. All teams are organized into age groups by birth year in accordance with league policy.

The competitive teams enjoy a longer training season and may play as many as three times more games as the recreational league teams. Some of the competitive teams play in the Spring League as well as in the Fall. Each teams’ skill set is matched to the appropriate level of play in either NorCal or National Premier League. All competitive teams will require light travel as far north as Redding and as far south as the Bay Area.

Tryouts for the competitive teams occur in May and/or June for the following Fall season.
