We are a recreational youth soccer league that invites those between the ages of 4 and 17 to play soccer each year during the Fall. We are an all-volunteer organization under the director and leadership of the San Jose Police Activities League. The Cambrian District has over 300 players and participates with our partner's district team from Foothill, Rosegarden, Willow Glen, Santa Clara, and Milpitas, to bring our league total players numbers to 2,500+!

Paperwork for Coaches

California State Law and P.A.L. regulations require that coaches be officially cleared to coach. All prospective coaches must fill out the San Jose Police Activities League Adult Registration Form and be fingerprinted (Livescan).

Primary coaches must submit the registration form and complete the livescan report to the San Jose P.A.L. Office. Assistant coaches can submit their information (a copy of the completed livescan report, the Adult Registration Form, and a photo) to the Rosegarden PAL Soccer Commissioner, who will issue the assistant coach's card.

These forms can be found in the Forms Section. Submit these forms by June for the quickest results. Remember no forms, no coaching.
