Our History
Norcal Athletics was founded in 2004 by Paul Heuberger, who started the program while he was studying at the University of San Francisco. The program was started to fill the need in the surrounding community for a reliable, well-organized men's and co-ed soccer program for recent graduates who wanted to continue playing soccer after college. Since then, our soccer program has grown to multiple locations in San Francisco and Berkeley, with around 80 men's and co-ed teams and kids clinics playing all year round.
