We take pride in giving opportunities to their players to maximize their potential at the highest levels available. 

Whether that means promoting players from our Glens Academy or Second, Third, or Fourth Teams in the SFSFL up to our First Team in USL League Two, or sending them from our First Team to MLS and the professional ranks, we are all about development and paving a pathway to success.

To understand how far we've come from our humble beginnings, a little history.

ABOUT OUR YOUTH ACADEMY TEAMS

Our SF Glens Academy on the youth side is relatively new. We started it in 2011 with just two Under-11 teams and built it out the old-fashioned way, adding younger teams beneath that level as they progressed in age. Over time, we grew to nearly 70 teams and over 1,000 players, and in 2019, we saw the fruits of that painstaking process as that original U11 group finally made it to the finish line in the youth pyramid. Those who persevered all the way through the journey became part of our very first Under-19 "graduating class." 

Today, we're the only youth club in San Francisco to have all age groups in MLS NEXT (U13-U19 Boys) and the new USL Academy (U17-U20 Boys and Girls), in addition to NPL Club Status (U12-U19). We also have teams in NorCal Premier and players in their PDP, players in Cal North's ODP, SF Youth Soccer's Upper House and Recreational Leagues, a Junior Glens Micro Soccer program, and Competitive Futsal. See the pathway below for a visual or visit our SF Glens Academy site HERE.

ABOUT OUR SENIOR TEAMS

Meanwhile, the adult side has been fielding amateur teams in the historic SFSFL since the club's founding in 1961. But in 2018, the Glens went a step further, adding a new team in USL League Two to compete in the fourth division of the American soccer hierarchy and sit atop our pyramid. Currently, the USL2 team serves as the First Team and the SFSFL teams in the Premier and Majors Divisions serve as the Second and Third Team, respectively.

Since 2019, our club's vision has been vindicated, as scores of Glens alumni along the pyramid have moved on to either playing in college or signed/drafted by professional clubs worldwide. 

With a full pyramid of programs and a Financial Aid program that allows every family access to our club's Academy teams, we are proud to be a club for all San Francisco as we look forward to the future.
