Saddleback United Soccer Club was established in 2006 by Joy Fawcett to create a unique soccer environment that combines excellent soccer training and a commitment to positive coaching.

Ultimately, we believe that in order to enable players to reach their full potential in soccer, we must help them develop a solid foundation that comes from personal character, relationships, excellent soccer fundamentals, understanding of the mental aspects of the game and most importantly a true love for the game of soccer.

In our opinion, youth soccer is not about winning games or championships. Rather it is about using the game to teach our kids some of the skills necessary to be successful in life.

For us, winning is not an objective. Winning is a result that comes from innate athleticism, training, teamwork, self-discipline, self-motivation and a strong desire to compete. Our focus is to help top-level athletes developed these skills so that they are more successful both on the pitch and off.
