The Santa Cruz City Youth Soccer Club (SCCYSC) is pleased to announce our 2011, 4v4 Developmental Spring League. 4v4 is the preferred developmental format of youth coaches worldwide. Spring 4v4 is geared towards motivated players that are looking for a fast-paced, high-touch environment to further increase a faster game time thought process.

Every team will play 10 games and have 5 trainings all guided by a professional coaching staff. Local UCSC and SCCYSC players will be helping with follow up instruction.
