The next evolution of player identification and development in the United States — combining all of Cal South's current and future elite player development initiatives under one integrated structure.
Players are identified in their natural game-playing environment by professional scouts, through a high-level scouting system built over twelve years — with the heaviest emphasis on the younger age groups, where player pools are largest.
Centered on quality of play, level of coaching, and the best players playing against the best — with fitness, nutrition, and sports psychology built into the program to develop the complete player.
No barrier should stand in the way of a player's opportunity to represent their state or national team. Eliminating cost and travel keeps the program accessible for every player and family.
Early identification and development leads to stronger advancement opportunities — whether a player is heading to college or toward a professional or national team.
Working in conjunction with Coast Soccer League, Cal South PRO+ ODP has created age group-specific Training Centers to expand player identification within CSL. Coaches and technical directors of CSL clubs registered with Cal South can recommend players for inclusion. Cal South also scouts CSL and State and National Cup for players.
Players are also scouted directly in the winter and spring at Cal South State and National Cup. Recommendations are accepted from affiliated club technical directors, club directors of coaching, club coaches, regional staff coaches, national staff coaches, ODP scouts, and opposing club coaches.
We do NOT accept recommendations from private trainers or parents.

Cal South believes that players are best identified in their natural game-playing environment by professional scouts. We have developed a high-level scouting system over the past twelve years, and are in the process of creating a more robust technology platform to identify and track players as they progress through the system. As more emphasis goes towards our younger age groups, the reach of our scouting and identification efforts under PRO+ will be greatly intensified as our player pools are larger in those younger age groups.
We contend that player development is directly related to the quality of play, the level of coaching and the best players playing against the best. Therefore, we are always centrally focused on creating a high-level environment, maintaining a quality coaching staff, and selecting the greatest development opportunities for our players. Part of development is also learning to become a complete player, which is why we integrate education into the program around fitness, nutrition, and sports psychology from some of the top minds involved in sport.
No barrier should ever stand in the way of opportunities for our players to participate and potentially represent their state or national team program. The elimination of costs and travel, while more aggressively utilizing Cal South’s relationships with Nike, U.S. Soccer and local resources, removes these barriers and makes the program accessible and inclusive for all players and families.
Early identification and development leads to stronger advancement opportunities. Whether a player is heading for college, or wishing to play for a professional or national team, PRO+ will be a key for any path.
