Become a fan today!

As a program within the Napa Youth Soccer League (NYSL), the Club serves as a home for talented and dedicated youth soccer players to compete in competitive traveling (also known as select) soccer. The NVSC program is designed to provide opportunities for players to excel technically and tactically as individuals and within a team. Teams are formed from the Under-10 age group up to the Under-19 age group. In the U-11 level and up, full 11-a-side teams are formed for league play and tournaments in both Division 1 and Division 3 competitive divisions. The primary goal of the NVSC program is player development.

NVSC and NYSL announce that changes are coming to our local soccer scene in the next few weeks and months.  Changes you will see, changes bringing our soccer community together, changes for the better.

Established over 30 years ago as Napa Youth Soccer League (NYSL) and as a 501C3 non-profit, our local soccer organization has continued to provide the youth of the Napa Valley with invaluable social experiences and a fun way to exercise. In addition, NYSL offers different playing level opportunities for many age groups that also include a competitive travel program under the direction of the Napa Valley Soccer Club (NVSC). As of January 2013, we have successfully merged the two organization platforms together to form what is now called Napa United which currently serves nearly 2000 players and is growing!  There are many advantages realized by uniting the two platforms and include organizational efficiencies, improved player development, and better community representation.

Over the next few months, you will start to see new Napa United marketing materials and community outreach efforts from our board members. We are excited to share this news with you and look forward to further developing Napa United into the best soccer program in the area.

Coming Soon….Napa United!!

Stay tuned for more updates as we transition to our new website.
