About the Program
The SBCC Men's Soccer program has an excellent reputation for academic and soccer excellence. We have facilities second to none. We play all our home games and train at our own La Playa Stadium, which is a state-of-the-art artificial turf field only 50 yds from the Pacific Ocean.
In 2007, we added a new fully equipped Life Fitness Center for strength training and also a fully equipped medical/training room. To complement these marvelous facilities, we have a vastly experienced coaching, faculty, administrative, and back-up staff, which will ensure that you progress to your goals as a soccer player and student.
With perfect weather and location, an excellent field and great academic and athletic reputation, Santa Barbara City College is the first choice of the best soccer players.
