Napa United

What the club offers

Fall recreational soccer welcomes players who turn four in 2026 through about age fifteen, with eight weekend games from early September through late October and volunteer parent coaches. Early-bird registration runs March through April at $225, May registration at $240, and late registration after May 31 at $260, with uniforms included in the fee.

The club program introduces competitive soccer for boys and girls roughly ages seven through nineteen with fall and spring seasons, regular training, league play in NorCal Regional Leagues and Youth Premier structures, and tournament opportunities—serving as the bridge from recreation into higher-commitment tracks.

Pre-Academy serves motivated U8–U12 boys and girls with three weekly trainings in a ten-month calendar, competition in NorCal Regional Leagues, Pre-NPL, State Cup, and select showcases, and a clear progression toward ECNL Boys and ECNL-RL Girls at U13 and older.

ECNL-RL Girls fields U13–U19 teams in the ECNL Regional League Girls NorCal Premier division starting 2026–27, with four training days per week, USSF- or UEFA-licensed coaches, and elite league, state cup, and showcase schedules. ECNL Boys joins the Northern California ECNL Boys conference for 2026–27 with four weekly practices, strength and conditioning, video analysis, college recruitment support, and national showcase pathways for U13–U19 athletes.

Tryouts and registration

Academy and club tryouts for the 2026–27 season run in May 2026 across Napa-area sites including Napa Soccer Cage, Saint John’s, Napa Christian, Silverado Middle School, and Raiders fields, with separate girls and boys sessions by birth year under the U.S. Soccer August–July age matrix. All new and returning competitive players register for tryouts online before attending. Fall recreational sign-up opens on a tiered fee schedule with proof of birth often required for proper age placement.

Development approach

Napa United emphasizes long-term player growth—technical, tactical, physical, and mental—rather than short-term results alone. Pre-Academy and ECNL tracks mirror professional academy models, while club soccer balances holistic curriculum-based training with competitive league play. The organization notes that a large share of its elite ECNL rosters grew up in local recreational programming, underscoring recreation as the entry point to higher pathways.
