Pleasanton RAGE

What ages and program levels does Pleasanton RAGE offer?RAGE serves girls from about ages 4 through 18. Core pathways include recreational soccer, Select (tryout-based with paid staff coaches), and competitive teams aligned with ECNL, ECNL-RL, Premier, Pre-ECNL, Orange, Grey, and related NorCal and NPL structures. Add-ons include goalkeeper training, recreational camps, club tournaments from U9–U19, mental performance coaching, TOPSoccer for players ages 6–18 with disabilities, and referee development through the East Bay Referee Association.

Where are tryouts and common training locations?2026–2027 Competitive and Select tryouts and placements take place at Val Vista Community Park, 7350 Johnson Drive, Pleasanton, CA 94566. Families should also expect practices or games at other Pleasanton-area complexes such as Aquatic Park (Amador Valley Community Park) on Black Avenue, Stanford Medicine Sports Complex, Bernal Community Park, and Muirwood Park on Muirwood Drive, depending on team and season assignments.

When are tryouts and newcomer events?Competitive tryouts for the 2026–2027 season run on scheduled evenings in early May, with Select tryouts grouped in mid- and late-May windows; exact nights and times vary by birth year and team band. Families who are not yet with RAGE can attend the open house on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Pleasanton Middle School, 5001 Case Avenue, Pleasanton, CA 94566. Complete the tryout registration steps inside the TGS parent-account workflow the club uses for competitive and Select players.

What does TOPSoccer cost and how is it scheduled?Each seasonal TOPSoccer session costs $30, with spring, summer, and fall blocks that each include six on-field meetings (summer and fall future dates are announced when finalized). Sessions run from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Muirwood Park, 4701 Muirwood Drive, Pleasanton, CA 94566. New players receive a TOPSoccer shirt, and families register every season separately through the TGS public-programs flow, expanding the search radius if they live more than ten miles from Pleasanton. Direct questions to lauren@pleasantonrage.org.

What should Select and Competitive families budget beyond club tuition?Annual family costs often include the club training fee, uniforms, tournament fees, coach or trainer travel, personal travel, and additional team expenses. Recreational, Select, and competitive tuition figures change each cycle, so families should review the current registration details or speak with the registrar before committing.

How does RAGE support new referees?RAGE partners with the East Bay Referee Association for licensing, education, and game assignments. Youth ages 13 and older may certify and begin earning income while learning the laws. New or recertified referees who finish certification by May 2026 can qualify for a $125 reimbursement from RAGE after working five RAGE home games before that May deadline; email tamieshadle@pleasantonrage.org once those games are complete. Spring workload bonuses tier upward with games worked and center assignments on the scale the referee program shares each season.

How can families contact or register?Use the club contact form at pleasantonrage.org/contact-us/, pick the department that matches the question, or open pleasantonrage.org/club-directory/ for volunteer-specific emails. Competitive and Select families manage tryouts and rosters through their TGS parent accounts. Recreational registration opens when the club announces the next seasonal window. TOPSoccer families email lauren@pleasantonrage.org, and referee reimbursement questions go to tamieshadle@pleasantonrage.org after requirements are met.
