City Connect Returns for Summer 2026

This July, City SC will once again bring together players and coaches from across our national network for the 2026 City Connect Program in Carlsbad, California.

Designed to provide a unique player development experience, City Connect gives athletes the opportunity to train with new coaches, play alongside teammates from different City SC clubs, and compete against top-level opposition in a challenging, high-performance environment. Throughout the week, players will take part in training sessions, competitive scrimmages, and conclude the experience by competing in the Carlsbad Cup.

The boys program will take place July 16–19, followed by the girls program July 23–26, featuring players from U11–U15 across the City SC network.

While City Connect is about developing better players, it’s equally focused on building relationships, creating lifelong memories, and strengthening the connections that make the City SC network unique.

Looking Ahead: City Connect Goes International

The future of City Connect is even bigger.

In Spring 2027, City SC will launch its first international City Connect experience in partnership with Coaches’ Voice, giving players the opportunity to travel to the United Kingdom for an unforgettable football experience.

Participants will train at Chelsea, Everton, and Tottenham Hotspur, work alongside academy coaches, compete against top academy opposition, and experience English football firsthand by attending both Premier League and Women’s Super League matches.

As the City SC network continues to grow, City Connect will continue creating meaningful opportunities that challenge players, expand their perspectives, and inspire them to reach the next level—both on and off the field.
