Ballistic United Soccer Club Information

The Ballistic United Soccer Club is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was established in 1968 to support the youth of Pleasanton, California and its surrounding un-incorporated areas. Our mission is to develop young men to their full potential thought the beautiful game of soccer. The Club philosophy is that development of Ballistic players and how we play the game is a greater priority than winning. BUSC has the most breadth of any Club in the tri-valley and includes Rec, Comp and MLS Next DA. We have teams at all skill levels for ages 5-18. Our recreational leagues are recognized and comply with the authority of the CalNorth (CYSA-N) and our competitive teams are governed by US Club-Norcal Premier League (Norcal). Both organizations are sanctioned leagues of USYSA. USYSA is a member of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), and its world-wide sanctioning body FIFA. Both CalNorth and NorCal provide many levels of play for our Ballistic United. Ballistic United has also been approved to compete in the MLS Next Development Academy league, which provides the highest level of training and competitions for the best players in the region. Our Competitive division teams are selected through a placement process each May. The programs included MLS Next, Premier, Elite and Select (Fall only). Most competitive teams travel to tournaments as US Club Soccer, USSF affiliated teams, and play for North California State Cup under the NorCal affiliation. BUSC's style of play is possession-based and stresses the importance of building up from the back. Our Recreational teams are formed by the player’s local school area. No placements are required. There is a place to play for everyone. From only seven teams in 1968, BUSC has grown to over 154 teams and 1,600 registered players in 2015. As our community and club continues to grow, more volunteers are needed each year. Please become involved in your community and become a BUSC volunteer.
