Red Star Soccer: The Local Leader in Youth Soccer Development

If you’re searching for a local soccer club in Mountain View that offers more than just weekend games, Red Star Soccer Academy is your answer.

Serving players from Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Los Altos, and surrounding areas, Red Star Soccer has built a reputation for delivering high-quality coaching, a clear developmental pathway, and a community-first culture that helps young players grow both on and off the field.

Whether your child is 4 years old and just starting out, or a 13-year-old looking for a more serious competitive environment, Red Star has a program tailored to fit their needs.


Beginner to Competitive: Programs for All Ages

Red Star Soccer isn’t a one-size-fits-all club. Instead, it offers programs designed to meet players where they’re at, and take them where they want to go.

Pre-Competitive Program (Ages 4–7)

  • Perfect for players new to soccer
  • Focus on fun, confidence, and foundational ball skills
  • Age-appropriate training with positive reinforcement
  • Held locally in Mountain View and Los Altos

Competitive Program (U8–U16)

  • Year-round training and match play in NorCal Premier League
  • Teams for both boys and girls across multiple age groups
  • Led by licensed, experienced coaches who focus on individual and team development
  • Clear pathway for progressing to higher league levels

What Sets Red Star Soccer Apart?

Unlike many recreational leagues or large clubs, Red Star Soccer offers a player-first approach focused on long-term development.

  • Small-group coaching ratios
  • Emphasis on ball mastery, decision-making, and tactical understanding
  • Tryouts twice per year with open drop-in assessments for new players
  • Winter futsal, summer training, and individual coaching available

A Club That’s Local and Community-Driven

Red Star isn’t just based in the Bay Area, it’s deeply connected to the Mountain View community. The club builds lasting relationships with families, prioritizes communication, and fosters a culture of respect and inclusion.

Many players and families return season after season because they trust the coaching staff, see measurable development, and feel like they’re part of something bigger.

Real Results, Real Progress

Over the past few seasons, many Red Star teams have:

  • Earned top-3 finishes in competitive tournaments
  • Gained promotion to higher NorCal Premier divisions
  • Helped players transition into high school varsity teams and beyond

And while results are important, the club remains grounded in its commitment to individual player growth.
