Coast Soccer League (CSL) is the oldest and most successful competitive soccer league in Southern California. More National Champions have been won by CSL teams than any other league in the nation. So, there is a rich history of success that got it beginning more than fifty years ago.
Today CSL serves teams from all over Southern California ensuring that competitive teams have a home where the level you play is determined by performance on the field, and not in league management meetings.
CSL has an equal commitment to leagues at every level of play, from Premier through Division 3. CSL offers both seasonal and year-round playing opportunities to ensure every team gets the experience they want. Every family is different, each child is different. and each team is unique. CSL's league offerings cater to these differences and allows for the best fit for your team and/or child.
CSL's system of promotion and relegation ensures an equal opportunity to all teams involved. What Division a team plays in is determined by their play on the field, not the name of their club.
CSL operates this "open" system to ensure every team competes at the level they have earned, and also a level that fits their ability.
At the top of the pyramid, both CSL Premier in the Fall, and California Regional League in the Spring offer teams a pathway to success at both the regional and national level. On the field success in Premier and CRL will earn an invitation to play in the USYS Far West Regionals and the National League.
Other leagues operate on a "closed" system, where in many cases the club name that you play for is more important than the teams ability. Only chosen teams get accepted and the results on the field do not influence where you play. A closed system DOES NOT reward hard work and a commitment to excellence on the field.
Coast Soccer League's playing pyramid provides teams the opportunity to find their own path.
“Each of the Coast Soccer League participating clubs operates independently of the gaming circuit. It is independent about recruiting, membership fees, coaching philosophy, club organization, fund-raising, and home field site.
The League operates for the purpose of preparing game schedules, assigning referees, and ensuring that clubs maintain the safe conduct of the games, players, spectators, and administrators”
Our mission is to making your “game day” experience the best in the nation. When you love the game you just want to have a great soccer weekend, CSL is #1 in Southern California.
It's not just the structure of the league that makes us so successful. It is CSL's commitment to areas that go beyond what you see in other leagues.
