Where We Play
The Barcelona USA GU14 Blue team competes in the Coast Soccer League which is widely considered the most competitive league in Southern California and, perhaps, the nation.
In 2009, CSL expects to feature over 2,000 teams, over 180 clubs and more than 35,000 players participating in games played throughout the Southern California region. It is the largest youth soccer league of its kind and serves to attract top-shelf talent from San Diego to Santa Barbara.
The image seen on the left best depicts how this structure operates; Teams representing clubs play within the CSL (Coast Soccer League), CSL is governed by Cal South, which, in turn uses the guidelines and regulations promulgated by U.S. Youth Soccer, U.S. Soccer and ultimately, FIFA.
Our Team
This will be our 6th year together as a team - the first five years spent at SSV Burbank and now proudly representing Barcelona USA.
Our team is comprised of girls with dates of birth between August 1st, 1995 to
July 31st, 1996. Our players come from all walks of life and locations
representing very diverse backgrounds - yet they all share a passion and love for the game
of soccer that serves to bond them as one.
The Team Concept is 'priority one' with our players and parents and we
measure our success in the way that we develop the players abilities and confidence - both
on and off the field - in the classroom - in character - and in life.
Our approach is rather unique in the Club Soccer world in that we operate
independently within Barcelona USA system.
Our team is NOT about 'turning a profit' or paying one dime to its directors or trainers. Instead, we invest 100% into the kids. See Fee Structure.
