About the Encinitas Soccer League

Encinitas Soccer League (ESL) is an all-volunteer, non-profit soccer league whose mission is to provide an opportunity for every child in the community who wants to play soccer with the place to do so. We strive, through positive encouragement, to provide an exciting place for children to learn and play soccer in a structured and fun atmosphere. ESL has two Divisions, Recreational Soccer and Competitive Soccer. We currently field teams only during the Fall Season.

ESL has been providing soccer opportunities for the youth of our community for over 20 years and was formed as a 501(c)3 corporation in 1998. We serve over 1500 youth living in Encinitas and surrounding communities. Our players form teams starting at the micro-soccer level through boy's and girl's under 19.

ESL is a member of CYSA-South, Presidio and the United States Youth Soccer League. We participate in and benefit from two local soccer tournaments, one for each of our divisions. The Encinitas Rotary Cup is sponsored by our local Rotary Club and welcomes the participation of our Competitive Encinitas Express teams. The Commissioner's Cup, designed and headed by Toni DeCarlo, a former ESL coach, was created specifically so that the ESL and surrounding communities Recreational teams would have a wonderful tournament to play in at the end of their season.

Encinitas Soccer League has a dedicated Board of Directors. As an all-volunteer organization we welcome and encourage parent participation so that we can continue to improve as a club and provide the best soccer experience for the soccer players in our community.
