Winning a championship is one of the best experiences you can have in life. The thrill is amazing, and the memories last a lifetime. It takes an incredible amount of dedication, but it’s worth every ounce of sweat. Train hard today to get closer to becoming a champion!
In Northern California, high caliber club players are proud to wear their High School gear
The High School playing experience is highly valued (and highly competitive) in California, North & South
I feel sorry for kids in leagues that won’t allow them to play HS ⚽️
Summer AAU/Club is great but there is something special about student-athletes competing against rival schools, in front of a crowd of community members, friends, and family, after attending classes all day, while playing alongside teammates who are their classmates.
COACHES: Coaching isn't just a job or paycheck. It’s a 24/7/365 commitment to positively impact people, make a difference, and change lives forever. It's a way of life that leads to improving other lives.
Dear Parents
Your child will lose several soccer matches over the years ahead.
I have found that kids can handle this fact just fine. They play; they move on.
If you can not handle this reality, figure it out and get on with it.
