NorCal Premier Soccer is committed to elevating soccer by developing players, clubs, coaches, and referees.
While we have offered many opportunities for coach, player, and referee development, we feel that now is the time to provide opportunities for club development.
As such we are excited to announce our first-ever Club Development Seminar, FREE to NorCal members July 2 at Las Positas College in Livermore. The content throughout this seminar is pertinent to Club Presidents, Board Members, Directors Of Coaching and anyone else involved in the day-to-day operations and decision-making within a club.
