Eastshore Alliance Fútbol Club (EAFC) was established in 2023 when two historic, local youth soccer clubs, Spurs FC and Mavericks SC, united to rise into a new era of San Francisco Bay Area youth soccer. With the combined resources, expertise, and shared core values from the two former clubs, EAFC emerges as a top level, competitive club with a robust, year-round program and stronger platform to train our players to compete locally, regionally, and nationally.

Hello!

Both ABSC and Eastshore Alliance (EAFC) offer competitive as well as recreational soccer. There are other clubs but they are further away from your location. Recreational teams have lower expectations for player participation. Competitive soccer is geared toward players who are looking for a more challenging soccer environment. Recreational teams usually have fewer and shorter practices, and participation in all practices is not required. Additionally, recreational teams play all of their games locally, while competitive teams are usually required to travel.

My daughter participated in both ABSC and EAFC, and had a positive experience in both. I would guess that you are seeking a recreational experience for your son, in which case either ABSC or EAFC would be a good fit. At the age of seven, teams typically have one practice during the weekday and one game on the weekend. The fall season is ending in mid-November, so you are likely looking at the spring season, which begins in March. You can sign up for either ABSC or EAFC through their websites beginning in January.

I understand that you cannot attend many practices, which is acceptable. However, I would still recommend attending practices, as they are beneficial in developing a love and understanding of the game.
