About
San Antonio United Soccer Club (SA United SC) is a long-running San Antonio organization founded in 2005 around quality coaching, a clear methodology, and strong local soccer for boys and girls. Programming now spans early childhood through high school—roughly U4–U19 on the club side—with Rising Stars for the youngest players, Academy pool play before competitive tryouts, Major League Soccer’s MLS Go recreational league for broad participation, and competitive tracks that include MLS NEXT and related boys platforms plus the Development Player League and other girls pathways alongside Western District Division One Association select soccer.
What the club offers
Rising Stars (about U5–U6) focuses on fun, fundamentals, and passion for the game with professional-led sessions and no tryouts. Academy (about U7–U10) uses pool training and shared rosters so players train and scrimmage across levels while preparing for U11 competitive tryouts; Academy teams compete in the local PDF league. MLS Go (about U6–U15) is volunteer-coached recreation with minimum playing time rules, MLS-branded kits, and registration through Neighborhood Sports. Competitive soccer (about U11–U19) forms rosters at yearly tryouts—usually in May—with 12-month commitments for MLS NEXT, DPL, and select sides. MLS NEXT Academy covers U13–U19 boys on the national platform; younger competitive ages and select teams also train and play under WDDOA with home-and-away schedules and travel inside and outside the metro. Older teams join showcases, regional events, and tournaments as part of those pathways. The club also produces media such as the United Voices podcast and runs community events and sponsor partnerships.
Where training and games happen
The North Central hub is GVTC Communications Sportsplex at 29064 Bulverde Road, San Antonio, Texas 78260. That venue hosts MLS NEXT and DPL work, club tournaments, major events, the club office, Rising Stars training, and MLS Go league games. The North West site is Blade Runner Soccer Fields at 7299 Luskey Boulevard, San Antonio, Texas 78255, roughly twenty-six minutes from the North Central complex, where North West teams train and play. When weather or field closures affect GVTC or Blade Runner, call +1 210-599-4622 during weekday office hours before traveling so staff can confirm whether training or games are on.
Tryouts, evaluations, and registration
Competitive, MLS NEXT, and DPL rosters reset through tryouts each cycle, with May as the usual month for selections and twelve-month player agreements. MLS Go and Rising Stars do not use tryouts; families register into those programs directly when registration is open. Anyone curious about MLS NEXT Academy or the competitive environment can request a free training session and evaluation; after families send the contact or player evaluation form, admin or program directors usually reply within about two business days. MLS Go sign-up runs through Neighborhood Sports; sibling discounts are available, and families can email rhonda.s@saunitedsoccer.com for sibling pricing questions. Rising Stars questions can go to program director Wade Sayre at wade.s@saunitedsoccer.com.
Mission, seasons, and platforms
The club’s roots are a 2005 focus on coaching quality, methodology, and high-level soccer in the San Antonio area, carried forward through community events such as United for Hope and pre-season tournaments. Club-wide, fall play generally runs about August into December and spring from January into May, with a multi-week winter break around the holidays—exact block dates shift by program. Boys chasing elite exposure use MLS NEXT (including Pioneer Division play), Texas Two, and Elite Academy where those platforms apply; girls’ national-track play runs heavily through DPL and related girls programming, and some girls teams also compete in USCTX-RL. Select programming under WDDOA includes two or three ninety-minute trainings per week for many teams, while MLS NEXT sides often train three times weekly, carry mandatory national events, and receive Trace match video as part of the package; uniforms are a separate purchase for competitive tracks. MLS Go seasons center on roughly seven weeks of training, six league games plus a playoff week, Sunday game windows at GVTC, and kit bundles included in registration.
