SACRAMENTO, CA (April 30, 2025) – NorCal Premier Soccer is proud to announce the addition of AC Marin into the ECNL Regional League Boys – NorCal Division, effective beginning in the 2025/26 season.
“Since AC Marin joined NorCal Premier Soccer in 2020, they have been one of the top clubs on the boys side, constantly competing for titles and earning several promotions along the way,” said NorCal Director of Competitions Daniel Chamberlain. “AC Marin’s inclusion in the ECNL Regional League Boys – NorCal Division will only strengthen the quality of the league and ensure that each club involved will face top-level competition every time they step on the field.”
AC Marin Executive Director Messias Souza dos Santos: “We are very honored and grateful to be accepted into the league. We truly believe that the platform will support our player development model and will provide our players with the necessary opportunities to achieve their dreams and goals. The journey continues!”
AC Marin Camps & Clinics are designed with all our players in mind — from ages 4 to 17. Our programs focus on fun, development, and building strong foundational skills in a positive, player-centered environment. We offer a supportive pathway for players at every stage, from beginners to those advancing in competitive play.
AGE GROUP ALIGNMENT & PLAY UP POLICY (2026–2027)
We would like to share an important update regarding youth soccer age group registration.
AC Marin Soccer Club is committed to providing a player-centered, development-driven environment while competing at the highest appropriate levels locally, regionally, and nationally.
Beginning with the 2026–27 season, U.S. Soccer–affiliated organizations will return to a seasonal-year age group model (August 1 – July 31).
While AC Marin fully aligns with this national framework, player development does not follow a rigid formula. Therefore, AC Marin will apply a hybrid, case-by-case approach that integrates age-group alignment with our Play Up Policy to best serve each individual player. Further details here:
