One of only four U.S. Soccer Development Academy League soccer clubs in the Bay Area, our soccer philosophy and playing style are unique. We emphasize developing our players in soccer and also as individuals. Our possession-style of play is the benchmark of our programs, in which we are recognized by college coaches across the country.The club offers a year-round soccer program at the competitive level that is focused on possession-style play.

Competitive age-groups teams are sub-divided into Class-1 ( Premier, Gold, Silver,Bronze) depending on a player's ability and interest level/commitment to becoming a competitive soccer player.In addition, the Technical Director will on occasion and in the interest of player development select the stronger, more-talented players from two consecutive age-group Division-1A teams to form a High-Level Team. This gives the clubs top competitive players the opportunity to play together on the same team against more challenging opposition and to travel to more competitive, or to college showcasetournaments, such as those attended by college coaches.

Our younger players/teams (U5-U11) play for several months of the year and develop their individual ability as they progress through the Foundation Phase of the Technical Development Program, where the focus is on graduating players with good individual ability - players with excellent mastery of the ball, a good basic understanding of the game's concepts, and the ability and confidence to express both in their own individual style of play.The older age-groups (U12-U23) play close to year-round and continue to develop their game in the Competitive Phase of the program, where the focus is now on using the team organization to play competitively.
