April Positive Amplification
Keeping kids active and engaged!
Santa Cruz United FC is Santa Cruz County’s premier competitive soccer club, offering a complete pathway for players of all levels — from grassroots development to elite NorCal, NPL, and higher-level competition.
As an official NorCal Premier Soccer and National Premier League (NPL) member club, Santa Cruz United provides boys and girls with access to top-tier competition beginning at the U13 level, while allowing players to train and develop locally in Santa Cruz County.
​
We believe in developing the whole player — one who excels in Cognition, Competence, and Character. Our goal is to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment that is both fun and challenging, enabling players to reach their highest potential while fostering a lifelong love of the game.
Our mission is to make top-tier soccer accessible close to home, giving players the opportunity to learn, grow, and proudly represent Santa Cruz.
Developing the whole player - Love of the game - joy in training - united in purpose
