Our History

Originally formed in 2005, SA United has continued to grow and expand its reach across South Texas

19 years and going strong

With a core statement and focus, we have continued to maintain our club philosophy and ethos throughout our 19 years of existence and continue to provide all of our members multiple pathways to continue their children's soccer education. 

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Formed in 2005 with a simple mission, to provide quality coaching, a methodology, a philosophy and a high level of soccer in the San Antonio area. 

19 Years

No stopping us

Being one of the very first clubs in San Antonio to start coaching soccer at a competitive level, we offered players a route into a more competitive mindset, either working their way up through our Academy or being of age to jump straight into our competitive teams.
