Club can look for inspiration from club members
before them who have gone on to play college

FC have sent over 150 alumni to more than 65
universities and colleges in 18 states.
The list of colleges former club members have
previously or are currently attending is very
impressive. It includes men`s and women`s
Division I national championship schools North
Carolina, UC Santa Barbara, University of
Portland, Duke, Virginia and University of San
Francisco. In addition, Division II and Division
III NCAA championship schools UC San Diego, Cal
State University Sonoma and Cal State East Bay
also have been home to multiple club alumni.
Director of coaching Brian Voltattorni and his
staff, which includes former MLS players
White and Richard Weiszmann, Brazilian National
team star Sissi and her World Cup and Olympic
teammate Tafarel, St. Mary's College men's head coach
Adam Cooper and SMC assistant
Jon Bernal and University of California

Football
Placekickers Some club alumni have continued on to college and became
football placekickers. That`s right, the American game of football, not futbol!
Many club members double as placekickers on their high school football teams in
the fall and soccer players in the winter. Several alumni have parlayed their
athletic ability in soccer and football into a football career at college
programs around the United States.

Alumni
in Other Sports Some club alumni have used the youth soccer experience in our club as part
of their foundation when they pursued other sports as they got older. The values
of commitment, teamwork, competition, training and fitness they learned in our
club have benefited them as they continued their athletic careers at a high
level. |
