It takes a City to raise a child. Our City is powered through a collaborative effort between our directors of coaching, our volunteer board of directors, a full time administrative staff, a team of specialized program leads, and a diverse and experienced coaching staff to provide a full service soccer experience.

DIRECTORS of RECREATION
The City SC Recreational Program is the foundation of our club, serving over 2500 recreational players within Carlsbad & the North County area. With an entirely volunteer based coaching staff, the job of the Director of Recreation is to not only ensure that our recreational coaches are licensed and fully equipped to teach the game but that the program, as a whole, runs smoothly. City SC aims to offer a recreational program where players have the opportunity to grow while having fun and building a love of the game, as well as providing unlimited growth opportunities for players of all skill levels and potentially acting as a stepping stone into the competitive program.

Individual player development is the foundation upon which our teams and the club are built. City SC has implemented age specific HOPDs who report directly to the Directors of Coaching and are charged with helping facilitate the individual player development process. HOPDs act as sub-directors for their assigned age groups and serve as a liaison and resource between directors of coaching, coaches, staff, parents and players. HOPDs for each age group can be found at our Player Development page.
COLLEGE LIAISONS
City SC is proud to provide a comprehensive college preparation program. With two full time college liaisons, we strive to educate players about the recruitment process and assist each individual with identifying soccer programs and universities that will be a good fit for their future. High school aged players gain access to recruiting tools, resources, and guidance, and prepare them for the demands of college on the field and in the classroom.
