About
North Coast FC is a Petaluma-based competitive youth soccer club serving Sonoma County and the surrounding North Bay. Active since 2016, the organization fields teams from under-8 through under-19 with multiple competitive tiers so families can match skill, commitment, and travel expectations.
What the club offers
Teams compete across NPL, Premier, Gold, Silver, and Bronze pathways. A shared curriculum and professional coaching staff—including a director of coaching, academy leadership, and a dedicated goalkeeping director—support consistent training across age groups. The club also runs programs, clinics, and events beyond league play, and maintains resources for uniforms, fundraising, college guidance, and player assistance.
Tryouts and joining a team
Tryout registration is open for the 2026/27 season; families should complete tryout signup before attending evaluations. Player registration after tryouts is reserved for athletes who have already been offered a roster spot. When the main tryout cycle ends, mid-season interest can still be considered through a join-team inquiry form, and a team manager follows up with age-group availability. Returning families often register through GotSport, while schedules and some registrations also flow through TeamSnap.
Development approach
The club emphasizes character, teamwork, and sportsmanship alongside technical growth. Training aims to challenge players at the highest appropriate level in a safe, positive environment that builds confidence, discipline, and respect for teammates, coaches, referees, and the game.
Where teams train and play
Practices are centered in Petaluma. League games for older squads use 11v11 slots at Petaluma Community Sports Field or Lucchesi Park as assigned by the city; younger groups play 9v9 or 7v7 formats on the same complexes with shorter time blocks. Age groups follow U.S. Soccer birth-year standards, with U19 now serving as the top youth band so players are not aged out mid-season.
Player assistance and uniforms
Need-based financial assistance can offset monthly club dues and coaching fees up to stated limits, with separate rules for registration, travel, and apparel. Families may also pursue matching funds tied to approved fundraisers. New players order uniform packages through Kombat Soccer using the club-provided access details when gear is needed.
How to reach the club
For urgent roster or training matters, contact the player’s coach or team manager directly. General questions go through the club contact form; volunteer support staff typically reply within one to two business days. Financial-assistance questions can be directed to cdegelabert@northcoastfc.org.

Frequently asked questions
Where do North Coast FC teams practice and play home games?Training is based in Petaluma. League matches rotate between Petaluma Community Sports Field and Lucchesi Park depending on city scheduling, with 11v11, 9v9, or 7v7 formats matched to the age group.
How do tryouts and mid-season roster inquiries work?Families register for 2026/27 tryouts before attending evaluations. After offers go out, only invited players should complete player registration. If the main tryout window has passed, submit a join-team inquiry and a team manager will respond about openings by age group.
