Cal Women's Club Soccer was founded in 1995 as a way for academically driven women to continue playing soccer in college. Since its founding, the size of the club has grown exponentially and now includes almost 50 talented women; many of whom turned down offers to play D1 soccer at other schools in order to attend Berkeley.
As a historically self-funded and self-run organization, we have relied on many personal sacrifices from our players, generous donations from family and friends, and annual player dues to stay afloat. Despite our best efforts to raise money, because of our minimal funding we have been unable to compete to our full potential.
Last fall, we finished first in our league qualifying for the National Tournament. However, we were unable to afford the trip to Alabama and were forced to end our season early. This motivated us to work harder and the team went undefeated throughout spring league in hopes of once again qualifying for nationals again this coming fall.
We would greatly appreciate your support as it would play an integral part of not only helping our club continue as an organization but also hopefully aid us in our pursuit of a national title! Please make a gift today to support our team!
Your donation will not only help fund our venture to the National tournament but also our day to day needs as a club. Because we have had to prioritize immediate costs, like tournament and referee fees, we have subsequently lacked the funds to provide both teams with more basic necessities, such as adequate equipment for trainings. We have even had to share one set of jerseys between two teams to save money. By donating to our club you'll be helping us provide a better environment for all of our players!
Since Fall of 2016 we have expanded our program from one team to two in order to increase the opportunities for women on campus to play competitive soccer. This semester we have a diverse group of almost 50 girls! (not all pictured)
