OUR HISTORY
Mt Diablo Mustang Soccer is a non-profit organization. This status allows our local youth soccer club to prioritize player development over profit. This means keeping registration fees accessible, ensuring that financial limitations don’t hinder a child’s chance to excel. Through financial discipline, we can invest in top-notch coaching, equipment, and facilities, creating an environment where every player has the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of background. This focus on inclusivity fosters a strong sense of community, where the love of the game and the pursuit of excellence unite players, families, and coaches alike.
While Mt Diablo Mustang Soccer was only formed in 2024, following a two year affiliation with Diablo Valley Futbol Club, our roots have been firmly entrenched in local youth soccer for more than 40 years.
