Founded in 1971 by a group of Portuguese soccer players with a vision to compete in the Peninsula Soccer League, our club later expanded in the early 1980s to include a youth program. The youth program rapidly developed into one of the most competitive clubs in Northern California and across the United States. Today, our teams consistently rank among the Top 5 in Northern California and maintain a Top 10 nationwide ranking according to GotSoccer.com.
