Competitive Soccer
Santa Cruz City Youth Soccer Club offers a competitive program in which more than 400 local players participate. Competitive teams are designed for players who show an interest and ability to train and play with similarly advanced players. The players enjoy more frequent and longer training sessions than recreational program teams. All of the competitive teams play in the fall and many of the competitive teams play in a spring league as well.
Tryouts for the Jaws (girls) and Sharks (boys) occur in the spring, usually in May, for the upcoming fall season. Teams are based on the players’ birth year. Players may play up (on older teams) in certain circumstances, but may not play on a younger team than their birth year. The fall competitive season usually begins in August and ends in November or early December. The spring competitive seasons usually begins in February or March and ends in May. The competitive program usually has teams for U9 - U19 depending on player demand and coach availability. If you’re interested in coaching, please let us know by emailing our competitive teams coordinator, Charlie.
If you have a player interested in playing spring comp soccer, please contact the coach of the team your child is interested in joining and/or email the competitive teams coordinator with the link above.
If your child is interested in winter futsal, please see the registration page.
