Santa Rosa United Soccer Club

What ages and program levels does Santa Rosa United offer?Junior Soccer Academy serves young children in the roughly 2016–2020 birth-year band in recent offerings. Academy programming moves through 7v7 gold and blue teams for U8 and U9–U10, then 9v9 Pre-ECNL and gold groups for U11–U12. U13–U19 players can join full-sided ECNL teams or, at the high-school ages, full-sided blue teams that keep a strong competitive standard outside the top ECNL roster. NorCal Premier supplies regional league play alongside those tracks, and ECNL covers the national showcase and college-exposure tier across the girls and boys editions of that league. Camps, clinics, playdates, and winter league add extra touch opportunities.

Where does the club train and play?Most activity uses the Trione turf complex at 4351 Old Redwood Highway, Santa Rosa, which stays open in wet weather. Grass games use A Place to Play at 2375 West Third Street when fields are playable. Other venues include El Molino High School in Forestville, Sonoma Academy, Piner and Santa Rosa high schools, Martin Luther King Jr. Park, and Galvin Community Park. Call +1 707-543-3474 for the field hotline when weather is uncertain.

How do tryouts, placements, and registration work?Families work through the club’s tryout and placement steps to map a birthdate to the correct competitive age group, then register in PlayMetrics when that tryout or placement cycle is open. External ID clinics ahead of tryouts are open to players not currently with another NorCal Premier club; players already rostered in NorCal Premier need written permission from their club director to attend. Junior Academy and camp registrations also use the PlayMetrics links tied to each program.

What do Junior Academy, camps, and competitive tuition cost?Junior Academy costs $125 for a six-week session with limited enrollment. Summer camp weeks for U8–U14 are $195 per week for half-day camp at Trione. Competitive club dues vary by whether a player is on Academy gold or blue 7v7, Pre-ECNL or gold 9v9, older ECNL 11v11, or older blue 11v11 teams; fee tables are organized by those tracks so families can see the right bracket for a birth year. Email office@srunited.com if a full fee summary is needed.

Does Santa Rosa United offer financial aid?Yes. Need-based aid can reduce club dues and coaching fees but does not cover uniforms, tournaments, travel, lodging, apparel, or miscellaneous costs. Families submit an application per player with proof of eligibility, and a three-person board committee decides awards using income guidelines. Aid may reach up to about twenty-five or fifty percent of eligible charges depending on income tier, recipients must complete required volunteer hours, and funding is limited each year so not every applicant receives support. Start by emailing office@srunited.com for the current application process.

What is the club’s mission and development philosophy?SRU is a nonprofit built around improving players’ social, emotional, and physical health while benefiting the community. Coaches emphasize technical skill, tactical understanding, teamwork, and personal growth whether families aim for college recruitment or long-term enjoyment. The club philosophy calls for lifelong love of soccer, humility about any single team or individual, and holistic development on and off the field. Players First recognition from U.S. Club Soccer reflects that player-well-being commitment.
