Spring registration opens on Monday Feb 8, 2021. We are so excited to have players back on the field! It’s been a long year. Hoping everyone is safe and healthy, and the kids are ready to play soccer. Currently, our plan is to have players practice twice weekly with their team, while we wait to get the green light to go back to playing games. The practice schedules will be set once registration is closed and teams are formed.

We are very excited to be back on the field. We hope your children are enjoying being back on the field with their coaches and fellow Islanders. As of now, NorCal has tentatively scheduled games to start in 2020. However, we don’t know at this point if or when games will actually be allowed by the State and County. For now, we are going forward with planning for socially distanced team training sessions for the fall.

Most Islander families have done the travel circuit. Manteca, Lathrop, Davis, Sacramento. Maybe Napa or Santa Cruz. This summer, the 2008 boys took travel to another level. The destination? The United Kingdom! It was a soccer packed 10 days. Within 24 hours of landing in London, most of the boys and their families headed to Wembley Stadium for the Community Shield, the final preseason game before the start of the Premier League, which Manchester City won over Liverpool in a penalty shootout thriller.
