Where on the ladder
Level 5 to Level 6
Each level below lists the leagues this club plays in. Your kid's level depends on the team they make. The six levels are our own reading of public league play. They are not an official ranking.
Sanctioned by California Youth Soccer Association (Cal North) (US Youth Soccer) and Cal South (US Youth Soccer). The club also played in NPL. That league ended in July 2026 and merged into National 1, so it does not count above.

The programs, age by age
These come from the club's site, grouped the way the club groups them. Your kid starts in the one that fits their age.
Recreational Soccer
4 years old until 18 years old
Recreational soccer is for any kid who wants to play soccer. There are no tryouts, and kids are randomly placed on teams.
Competitive Soccer
8 years old until 18 years old
Competitive soccer is for kids and families that want a more extensive soccer experience than the recreational program offers. Players must tryout and be selected to play on a competitive team.
