About
San Antonio City Soccer Club is a full-pathway San Antonio program that blends introductory micro and recreational soccer with Jr Academy bridging years and select teams that feed Boys ECNL, ECNL Regional League, and STXCL Regional League tracks for boys and Girls Academy plus GA Aspire for girls, alongside High Performance programming and UPSL for appropriate age groups. Families move season-to-season through PlayMetrics for signup and billing, while prospective select players can join Player Observation Events where staff run a training block and evaluate level before roster decisions. The club pairs heavy training volume—typically two sessions weekly in academy and select bands—with league and cup commitments that scale by age, and it keeps a visible charity and alumni thread through community projects, international travel references, and the SA City Players Foundation for need-based fee support.
What the club offers
Micro Academy serves U4–U7 boys and girls with an eight-week spring block, Monday and Wednesday evening practices, and Friday evening small-sided games at east, north, and west hubs. Jr Academy covers U8–U10 with USSF-licensed staff, four weekly training options split by campus, eight San Antonio PDF league fixtures each season across nine host clubs, and named Copa weekends in fall and spring. Recreation spans U4–U12 for families who want a lighter club entry. Select programming runs U11–U19 with birth-year bands aligned to each seasonal cycle; boys access select, ECNL, ECNL-RL, and STXCL-RL as labeled, while girls access select, Girls Academy, and GA Aspire. Camps, clinics, Jr Academy open sessions, and speed training blocks at Specht round out extras, and Copa Primavera operates as a branded tournament window on the calendar.
Where training and games happen
East-side work centers on McAllister Park and Anderson Fields at 13102 Jones Maltsberger Road. The north campus uses Specht Soccer Complex at 204 West Specht Road. West-side select and Jr Academy training often meets at ASP/CC (Alamo City Youth Sports Organization) on FM 1560 North, while Micro Academy west sessions use Harlan High School at 14350 Culebra Road. Select game formats lengthen halves as players age, with U11–U12 nine-a-side frames stepping up through older brackets. The administrative office and uniform try-on appointments sit at 2552 Boardwalk Street, San Antonio, Texas 78217, with weekday phone coverage Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Pets are not allowed at SA City facilities, and field status updates cover weather or closures.
Tryouts, registration, and family costs
For 2026/27, girls tryouts cover U13–U19 players and boys tryouts cover U11–U19 players, each registering through program-specific PlayMetrics links. Player Observation Events remain the on-ramp for families exploring select placement; questions go to admin@sacitysc.com or +1 210-880-5772. Micro Academy spring 2026 registration prices the eight-week season at $254 before uniforms. Select fees divide into eight installments after an initial online payment at the end of registration; a $250 commitment fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, with remaining balances invoiced inside PlayMetrics. Jr Academy uses the same installment mindset for full fall-and-spring registration, with card or ACH accepted and in-office payment arranged through admin@sacitysc.com. Sibling and active, reserve, or retired military discounts trim $100 per eligible player in High Performance, Select, and Jr Academy; those discounts do not backdate and do not stack with financial assistance awards. Card processing adds about 2.75% plus $0.75 per transaction, uniforms sit outside the club fee bundle on a two-year Nike cycle fulfilled through Soccer.com, and travel tournaments plus extra seasonal training carry separate line items.
Mission, player aid, and age-group planning
