SF Seals is excited to announce the 2018-19 Seals Soccer Program!  As a volunteer run organization, we spend practically 100% of our operating budget on 3 things:

1. Cost of delivering the Program (e.g. league fees, tournament fees, fields, refs, equipment, etc.) 
2. Coaching and professional development of our coaches
3. Financial Aid to players who have demonstrated need 

We know club soccer is very expensive.  Therefore, we constantly strive to deliver the best possible program at the lowest possible cost.  SF Seals is proud to constantly innovate and refine our program in order to maximize the development of all Seals players.  

As an Approved Public Benefit Organization (APBO), SF Seals will be able to deliver our program without charging extra fees for practice fields in 2018-19.

Summary Highlights For 2018-19 Program:

• One annual fee covers pre-season training, Fall league, Winter league or futsal and Spring league seasons.
• State Cup competition plus a local tournament is included in all NorCal travel programs
• One additional showcase tournament is included for Premier/Gold travel programs

At SF Seals, our primary objective is player development.  We believe that playing in games as well as diligently participating in scheduled training sessions are important components of the player development process.   Here are the SF Seals guidelines for playing time.

• Recreational Soccer - we adhere to most rec league guidelines of minimum of half a game for every player.  However, if a player is misbehaving or acting in a manner that seriously and negatively impacts the overall experience for his teammates, the coach may withhold the player from participating further in a game.
• Competitive Soccer (CCSL Prep or Travel Bronze/Silver) - while there are no minimum playing time rules set by playing leagues, our coaches will always give playing time to all players who are attending training sessions and working diligently to improve themselves and make a positive impact on the team.  Typically, all players should expect to play a minimum of 1/3 to 1/2 of a game.
• Competitive Soccer (Travel Gold/Premier) - our most competitive teams may utilize more variable playing time tactics based on the significance of each game.  However, it is extremely rare to have any player not play in a game (as long as the player is not injured and attending training sessions for the team.)

At SF Seals, we adhere to the guest playing rules set forth by the participating league of the team.  In leagues (travel competitive divisions) where guest players are allowed, SF Seals will only use guest players for the following reasons:

1. When a team's game roster is short due to conflicts for players (vacations, school activities, illnesses & injuries, etc.), the team will invite appropriate guest players from other teams in the club (as allowed by league rules) in order to field a full team for the game.
2. In select cases, the Director of Coaching may move a lower level or age player up to a higher level or age team game in order to further accelerate that player's development path.  In most cases, this is combined with shortage of players on the higher level or age team.

SF Seals do not move "ringers" or higher level players down to a lower level team for the purpose of winning games.  We strive to provide appropriate, yet challenging level of competition for each team in order to maximize the development opportunity for our players.

Registration for 2018-19 Season will open on Friday, May 18 for U14 and younger players and on Monday, May 21 for U15 and older players.

Once a player has been registered to play for the team, the player is committed for the annual program.  There are no refunds except under special conditions as each team's annual budget is based on the annual program fee of registered players.  Special pro-rated refund requests may be submitted in writing to the Seals Executive Director and the Director of Coaching for consideration.
