Playing Leagues

GNSC: U6, U8 and U10 teams play all of their matches on our own Gold Nugget Soccer Club-managed fields and against teams from within our own club. The Kick Start program is managed in-house, as well.    

Mini-CPL:  For our U12, which require a higher-level of play and competition, matches are scheduled within a regional playing league, the 'Mini-CPL'. The Mini-CPL is comprised of teams from neighboring clubs within CalNorth (CYSA) Area VI, such as Prospector, Sierra Gold, Rolling Hills Soccer League and OVYSL.

NorCal US Club: Our U14, U16 and U19 teams play with a regional playing organized by NorCal Premier. This playing league is known as "Super Rec".
