🚨 WELCOME COACH DANIEL! 🚨
We’re excited to welcome Daniel to the Cal Magic coaching staff! 💫⚽
Born in San Francisco and raised in San Leandro, Daniel has been immersed in the game since the age of 7—developing his skills through the California Northstars and Arroyo High School. His journey as both a player and a coach has made soccer a powerful tool for personal growth and development.
Reflecting on his new role with Magic, Daniel shared:
“From the moment I arrived at Magic, I was able to see the high level of professionalism that all of my colleagues carry themselves with. As well as their passion to really support the youth and its community through the game of soccer. To them, it’s really more than just the game of soccer.”
🎸 Off the field, Daniel enjoys playing guitar, singing, songwriting, and playing chess—bringing creativity and thoughtfulness to everything he does.
Welcome to the Magic family, Daniel!

In an incredibly gutsy game, the 0809B National team won 2-0 in their last game of the season!
With only 9 players, the boys played with discipline, patience and some goalie magic on defense. On offense, they were aggressive and showed urgency and grit to overcome their small numbers. We couldn’t be prouder of these boys and the team spirit they showed! Go Magic!!! ⚽️💙⭐️

Bravo to our 2012G West team for their fabulous spring season!
They won the league in undefeated fashion, going 8-0-2, averaging nearly 3 goals per game and allowing less than one. Most importantly, the girls have a great team culture and an inclusive bond amongst their teammates. And they love their Coach Alfredo. Congratulations girls! 🔥🔥🔥

🌟 Welcome Coach Sebastian to California Magic! 🌟
We are thrilled to announce that Sebastian has joined our coaching team! Growing up in the west suburbs of Chicago, Sebastian honed his skills at Hoffman United, Sockers FC, and Ela Elite before continuing his impressive career at Harper College and Judson University. As a player, he captained his high school team, earning all-conference honors, and achieved remarkable milestones like winning a NJCAA Regional Championship with Harper College and competing in NCCAA Nationals in Florida with Judson University.
After his playing career, Sebastian transitioned to coaching youth soccer in Chicago, and in 2024, he brought his passion and expertise to the Bay Area. Sebastian believes that soccer teaches invaluable lessons in leadership, work ethic, and resilience. He says, “The game helped me understand the importance of leadership, work ethic, and resilience. Of course, it is a great escape to enjoy oneself, but it made me love to compete with others.”
As a coach, Sebastian is dedicated to bringing the same joy to the kids that he experienced in his youth. When he’s not on the field, you can find him enjoying cooking, golfing, and movies.
Join us in welcoming Coach Sebastian! 🎉⚽️

Is Olympics and World Cup winning goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher the star of this photo? Or is it the Cal Magic ball girls?!! The 2013G East and 2012G West teams combined to act as @wearebayfc official “ball kids” during their game against the Chicago Red Stars last weekend, and even got to meet some of the players afterward! 😍
A truly “magical” experience for our crew! Many thanks to @wearebayfc 🙌🏼⚽️💙

The meeting of a lifetime! 🙌🏼
A few lucky members of our #calmagicsc squad ran into players from the USWNT last night at an In-N-Out in San Jose. 🍔
These phenomenal ladies couldn’t have been kinder, and took time for autographs and photos with our Magic players, who admire + look up to them.

🚀 ⚽️ Integrated Soccer Training: Perception, Decision-Making & Execution UnderPressure 🚀
In our Magic Ⓜ️ training environment, players develop their game intelligence and technical toolbox by training under perceptual, decision-making and execution pressure across the four moments of the game:
⚽ Attacking
🛡️ Defending
🔄 Transition: Attack → Defense
🔄 Transition: Defense → Attack
We OVERLOAD players within their STRETCH ZONE to drive DEVELOPMENT! ⚡
By applying targeted OVERLOADS, we challenge players to enhance their GAME UNDERSTANDING and FULL PLAYER ACTIONS in real-time, match-like scenarios—appropriate for THEIR SOCCER AGE. This is SOCCER FUN‼️
Growth happens outside the comfort zone. Are you training where it matters? 🔥⚽
#StretchZone #GameIntelligence #TrainUnderPressure #SoccerDevelopment #FootballIQ
Players must constantly:
👀 Scan the field
🗣️ Communicate (verbally & non-verbally)
🎯 Pass, receive & shoot under pressure
🔥 Run with the ball & shield effectively
🛑 Mark, demark, tackle & intercept
And of course… Competition fuels the fire! 🔥 Small-sided games & constraints-based challenges keep intensity high and decisions sharp.
Are you training your brain as much as your feet? 🧠⚽
🧙♂️: Training environment with Coach Emerson & Coach Diogo
