The San Francisco Seals is a nonprofit youth soccer organization based in San Francisco, California, dedicated to developing players both on and off the field. Founded in 1981 by Tom Simpson as the San Francisco United Soccer Club, the organization began as a local recreational team and has since grown to encompass over 60 youth teams across various levels, including recreational, competitive, and elite programs such as MLS NEXT.

The Seals’ mission focuses on age-appropriate skill development, a deep understanding of game strategy, and the cultivation of good sportsmanship. Their comprehensive programs cater to players ranging from U8 to U23, providing a full pathway for aspiring athletes. Notably, the club has a rich history of success, with numerous alumni advancing to collegiate, professional, and national team levels. The Seals’ commitment to fostering a positive, supportive environment underscores their belief that the journey of growth and learning is as important as the game itself.
