About

Stanford Strikers FC

The Next Chapter Begins

United. Driven. Rising.

Stanford Strikers FC is proud to be one of the Bay Area’s premier youth soccer organizations, committed to excellence both on and off the field. Our foundation is built on decades of deep-rooted experience, shared values, and a commitment to player-first development.

Now entering a new chapter, Stanford Strikers FC is focused on the future. With our recent acceptance into the ECNL Regional League, we are thrilled to offer our players expanded pathways for elite competition and growth—without compromising our core mission of fostering a positive, character-building environment for all levels of play.

We offer age-appropriate programs starting at age three, designed to meet kids where they are in their development. From building gross motor skills and early social-emotional confidence through the lens of soccer, to our Futures League - a nurturing space for young players not yet ready for competitive play - and all the way through to our competitive teams at varying levels, Stanford Strikers FC provides a clear and supportive pathway for every player’s journey.

Whether your child is taking their first steps into the sport or aiming for the highest levels of youth soccer, we offer dynamic, best-in-class programs tailored to support every stage of the journey.
