More than a club — a community
South Bay Football Club is a youth soccer organization that provides street soccer programs in partnership with various youth soccer clubs to provide street soccer opportunities for San Jose's youth. We provide a safe and fun environment for children in the Cambrian, Willow Glen, Rose Garden neighborhoods of San Jose and a section of Campbell. We believe that soccer is more than just a sport; it teaches important life skills such as teamwork, dedication, and perseverance, all while fostering a love of physical activity and healthy competition.
Do things the right way and on time. Be conscientious in your actions; respect every aspect of the game.
Face adversity head-on, work through your challenges, and rise up to discover your true potential.
Stand as one. We win together, lose together and grow together. Our group is strong and supportive.
Own our work and our results. We work to the best of our ability.
We are loyal to our mission, values, goals, the game, and our membership.
Our mission is to develop successful, well-rounded individuals who exhibit good sportsmanship, ethical and moral behavior, and good citizenship. We aim to leverage the challenges and life lessons of striving for excellence in competitive soccer into molding young people to understand the value of teamwork, sportsmanship and hard work while fostering an environment that allows players to reach their full potential and love for the game.
South Bay Football Club believes in player development as the approach to building the soccer club and individual teams, while always maintaining a club atmosphere. We use a standardized curriculum that keeps the entire program operating together and developing the players in the same fashion. As we develop our younger players and teams with a concentration on technical training and possession, the players will eventually graduate through the program year by year to a greater level of tactical training, where movement off the ball and decisions on the ball become extremely important. Our focus will always be on player development and through our own curriculum, we seek to advance our players onto the college and professional level.
