Madrid Premier Soccer Club is a competitive youth organization located on the beautiful Central Coast of California. Madrid Premier Soccer Club draws players from throughout Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. The club is comprised of both girls and boys teams that participate in Coast Soccer League, Central Coast Soccer League and top level competitive tournaments nation wide. Madrid Premier Soccer Club is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and teaching quality soccer on the Central Coast.
Fall League Gaming Circuit
Our club has two levels of play and development, designated Premier and Black. Each Premier team participates in Southern California's Coast Soccer League, considered the most competitive playing circuit in the United States. Madrid Premier teams have league home games in Santa Barbara and can play a normal league game as far south as San Juan Capistrano.
Madrid Black teams participate in the local Central Coast Soccer League. These teams are considered more developmental than the Premier teams. However, they are geared to developing and preparing players to compete against better competition down South. The focus on Madrid Black teams is to generate an interest in soccer and provide more kids an opportunity to play. These teams are provided a professional trainer or coach who meets the clubs coaching requirements.
College Showcase
Madrid Premier teams participate in Cal South, Cal North and US Club sanctioned tournaments. Once the teams reach the appropriate age groups they strive for acceptance into college showcase tournaments such as Nomads, Surf Cup, Eclipse College Showcase, Las Vegas College Showcase and the Toyota College Showcase .. etc.
Why join Madrid?
In order to play against top clubs, YOU MUST TRAVEL as this level of competition doesn't ususally find it's way to the Central Coast. Such clubs include: FC Barcelona, San Diego Surf, Nomads, Arsenal FC, Slammers, Irvine Strikers, So Cal Blues, Legends FC, SDSC Pegasus, West Coast FC, Eagles FC, LAFC, Wolfpack, OJSC Barcelona and CRSC Infinity, Honolulu Bulls (HI), Sereno White (AZ), Las Vegas Tabigators (LV).
The reason for this travel is to expose the kids on the Central Coast to the "best" soccer has to offer. That is a simple fact! If you don't play against clubs at that level, then you might not have ever seen what the best is. It is our feeling that you must not just see these teams ... you must search them out and play against them, win or lose, as much as possible.
Madrid Premier teams do participate in local tournaments as well. This is based on the competitive level of the team and to balance out the travel involved in the annual curriculum while still developing players to the best of their potentials. Various Madrid Premier teams participate in SLO North v.s. South, Condors Classic and the CVSC Soccerfest. Madrid Premier also now hosts the annual Madrid Premier Cup. It must be noted that all local tournaments are starting to draw better teams!
Year Round Commitment to Soccer
Madrid players are encouraged to excel in the sport of soccer. This does not mean that Madrid kids are not allowed to play any other sports. Madrid has athletes that participate in multiple sports and it is supported for a well rounded youth experience.
Madrid players are able to make any decision they want in regard to what sports they play. Our feeling is this ... if you play multiple sports, you might be good at all of them. However, if you play one sport you could master it, simply by more focused practice time at specific skill sets. If a player elects to participate in several sports and take away from soccer, he or she runs the risk of being passed up by players who select soccer "year round." That is a decision they make on their own.
Fundamentally, Madrid Premier Soccer Club member player are expected to commit and attend all team training sessions for their specific team even if they are participating in other sports.
Conclusion
Each club on the Central Coast does do good things for soccer and our local kids. Each club on the Central Coast has trainers and operates in their own way. Each family that participates in any local club is doing so because they have a set of choices to make.
Madrid Premier Soccer Club is not for everyone. Madrid is for the player who is looking for exactly what we provide.
