Where are your games played?

It depends on the age of the player. The younger players play at our home fields and in the surrounding areas. Older players, U15 and up, can play games throughout Southern California: Long Beach, Yorba Linda, San Clemente, Irvine, Mission Viejo to name a few. Tournaments have been played in San Diego and San Bernardino locally over the past year as well as a sand soccer tournament in Huntington Beach.

We start our soccer players at U5 - U8 under the direction of our Player Development Officer, Alexis Ubillus. We have three seasons for this age group: Spring, Summer and Fall. Contact Alexis Ubillus for details.

Players can join SC Athletic Academy during any season, U5 - U12.

Guidelines for Use at AVMS North Field
  • There is to be no parking, dropping off or vehicle access on school property.  This includes the public access road adjacent to the school fence line.  Vehicles to remain in the street at all times, unless it is a matter of emergency, injury etc.

  • When attending practice or games, access the fields through the school and not along the public right of way and through the double sliding gate. 

  • Field set up and game field will be marked 30 yards from the fence line.  This is an agreed to no-go buffer zone between us and the residents of California Reflections.  That area must be kept free of any activity, including siblings that may want to be active during their brother or sisters practice.  Please instruct siblings to go to the other end of the property.

  • Under no circumstances allow any siblings or friends to go off property and onto the slopes adjacent to California Reflections.  Also be sensitive to any kids kicking balls against the fence as it has become a major source of nuisance for California Reflections.

  • Under no circumstances can dogs be brought to the North field.  Also, we do not have authority to keep other dog users from using the property.  If you witness any activity with dogs, please inform me and I will pass it onto the School District and California Reflections for them to address.

  • After practice or games please make sure that all trash is removed on exit.  We, as a club, fully understand there is an amount of trash that has been left by the school and surrounding neighbors and we do not do trash cleanup for all.  We are working with both the school and California Reflections residents to address this issue.

  • We will be adding a portable toilet on property.  I fully understand that porta potties are not facilities we like to use out of choice, however there is a public restroom within easy walking distance at the local park close by.  If kids or parents want to use either, it is fine with the club but under no circumstances are we to relieve ourselves in surrounding bushes, behind buildings etc.

All or any of the above may sound petty in some instances, but these are simple guidelines that we as a club are asking to be followed.  This is our part, as a youth organization providing a great activity for children, to also be good neighbors.  We thank you for your cooperation and consideration in these very simple requests.
Roger Castle Snr.
Club President
