One of the goals for the Ballistic United Soccer Club has always been to create the best possible learning environment for the players to be able grow, both as a player and as a person.

In order to provide the best path for the players to develop is to put the best staff in place to guide the players as they move through the program.

"The club has always prioritized and has been successful building a very experienced technical staff,” said Kevin Crow, the Executive Director of Ballistic. “I would rank our current staff as one of the top youth soccer club staffs in the country.”



We feel we have succeeded in that area and wanted to share some of the accomplishments of our talented staff!

"I grew up playing for Ballistic United, and now it's a joy to give back to the club and community, instilling in the next generation not only the skills of soccer but also the core values of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship."

Amador Valley Scholarships

The Amador Valley Scholarships, Inc. was started in 1965 when a group of

educators and businesspeople got together for the purpose of raising money for scholarships for graduating seniors from Amador, Foothill and Village.

In 2010, BUSC started the Erik Jon Lemoine Scholarship in honor of an

outstanding former player who passed away after a long battle with cancer.

The Lemoine family has been a long-time member and passionate supporter of Ballistic United and the game of soccer that is played here in Pleasanton.

Each year, Ballistic United and the Lemoine family provide scholarships a

deserving individual. Recipients must reside in Pleasanton, attend and play

soccer at either local high school, be a senior, and have played their youth

soccer careers extensively at BUSC!

The AVSI application website is now open and accepting applications between
