About The Club

The Butte United Soccer Club is the Competitive Club for the Butte Youth Soccer League. BYSL includes Butte and Glenn Counties in Northern California. We are affiliated with the California Youth Soccer Association - North, District VI and the United States Soccer Federation.

Advanced players from all communities within BYSL are encouraged to try out for our Division I and Division III teams. Butte United teams compete in the District VI Playing League as well as tournaments throughout the state and beyond. The Playing League ranges from Chico to Elk Grove, and from Fairfield to Placer County. Occasionally a team from a neighboring District will be invited to compete in the District VI Playing League so teams might travel to Redding to the north or Stockton to the south.

Many of our players go on to play High School and College Soccer.

Under 10 through under 19 teams are formed for both boys and girls. Tryouts begin each spring in March. League play begins in September, but teams often elect to attend tournaments in summer.
