The UC San Diego Women’s Club Soccer Team is part of NIRSA Region VI: West Coast Soccer Association – Premier Central Division, which also includes UC Irvine, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, and the University of Southern California.
Fall Quarter is the busiest time of year: league matches begin the week following tryouts and the team travels to Santa Barbara to participate in the UC Santa Barbara Invitational, in addition to other independently scheduled matches. Based on their league standing and NIRSA rankings, some teams are also invited to play in the Regional Tournament, from which they can qualify to participate in Nationals. During Winter Quarter, we compete against teams in Southern California, in addition to a weekend of round robin friendlies with schools in and around the Bay Area. Spring Quarter means Spring League and a variety of university sponsored tournaments, including UCLA’s Bruin Classic and the UCSD Invitational, a successful venture held jointly by the Men’s and Women’s club teams since 2009, which plays host to teams from across the nation.
Any ladies interested in becoming a part of the Women’s Club Soccer Team should please contact the captains at ucsd.womens.club.soccer@gmail.com. We currently have one team that rosters somewhere between twenty and twenty-four girls. Tryouts occur during Welcome Week (Week Zero), lasting three day in total.

If you have any questions please contact the officers or find us on Facebook!
There is a fee to play for the women’s team that varies annually. In previous years, it has been approximately $500 to $600. Please bear in mind this amount is for the entire year, covering all manner of expenses, including but not limited to apparel, equipment, tournaments, hotels, gas, and referees. Please do not be discouraged if this seems to be financially inaccessible. We fundraise throughout the year to help subsidize costs and take pains to ensure no one is barred from playing due to purely monetary considerations.
Please don’t be shy and come on out! We’d love to make you part of our family.
