Santa Cruz United FC continues to strengthen its competitive pathway for the 2026–27 season, providing players in Santa Cruz with meaningful opportunities to develop and compete at every stage of the game. On the girls side, our top U13+ teams will compete in ECNL RL, while on the boys side, our top U13+ teams will compete in the new National 1 League. For younger boys and girls, NorCal Premier Regional League remains an important part of our developmental pathway, helping players grow within the club and prepare for future opportunities.

​

While we are proud of these platforms, our focus remains on developing people through the game. At Santa Cruz United, what is in the shirt is more important than what is on the shirt. We are committed to building a pathway that values community, character, development, and meaningful opportunities for players at every stage.
