Encinitas Soccer League is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.  Since 1977, we have served the communities of Encinitas, South Carlsbad and Cardiff by providing quality soccer programs for players ages 5 to 19 years old. Over 2,000 children participate in our program each year.   Express Soccer Club is a US Youth Soccer approved club.

Vision
Express Soccer Club is a soccer community that strives to develop players who define success by the level of effort, passion, and teamwork they display both on and off the field. 

Mission Statement
Express Soccer Club is committed to being a high quality, community-based soccer club that supports the development of players of all ages and abilities to their maximum potential by focusing on “total” player growth.  Our dedicated and experienced coaching staff partners with our parent community to provide the positive environment needed, at both recreational and competitive levels, to promote the development of soccer skills and ability, self-esteem, strong character and love for the game.

Express competitive teams play league games in the fall but participate actively in pre-season (summer) and post-season tournaments (winter) as well as State and National Cup tournaments. Teams compete in the Southern California Developmental Soccer League (SoCal) and are coached by high quality, professional soccer coaches.   For more information about our competitive program, please visit our "competitive" page.

Express recreational teams start their league play in September and compete through November, playing an average of 10-11 games. Teams form in the summer and begin to practice in August.  Our recreational program works closely with Los Angelitos de Encinitas to provide financial aid to families who require assistance.  There are no tryouts and teams are built around neighborhoods and schools.   Recreational All-Star teams, "Express Select", are formed in November and participate in two tournaments in the December time frame.  Recreational teams are coached by dedicated, parent-volunteer coaches and Express Select teams are coached by parent and professional coaches.  For more information about our recreational program, please visit our "recreational" page.
