Bear Facts
Winning is our priority.
But above all, we would like to be remembered as people who were
selfless, who strove and worked hard so that others could share the
glory of success, and who built a family of people who could hold
their heads up high and say...
WE ARE CAL

"Playing for the Cal Women’s Soccer Program not only took my playing abilities to the next level, but gave me the championship mindset, whose benefits I still use at the pro level. Under Neil, the standards and attention to detail were high but he also allowed for us to learn in a fun, high energy environment. I felt that he always let players be their own personalities, he didn’t try to force a player into a role, but instead gave everyone the opportunity to play to their strengths. I am 100% certain, I would not have had the same success at the pro level, if I hadn’t played under him at Cal."
