U8 Spring League A Success & Cal South National Cup
Celebrating soccer and giving the youngest of our youth a boost of confidence while having fun
Over 150 U8 Boys & Girls enjoyed playing weekly 4v4 soccer games this past Spring as part of the Santa Barbara SC program. The players and games were guided by a combination of professional coaches and current players from Santa Barbara SC. The current players served as mentors and referees for the players and games, while the coaches managed the playing environment allowing the players to play and own the game as much as possible.
The final games took place last Friday with players from the current Mens & Womens UCSB Soccer teams in attendance to celebrate with the players.
