The DMCV Sharks Club’s philosophy is to achieve complete player development, by focusing on technical proficiency, mental conditioning, and diverse tactical understanding. We believe players thrive in a healthy learning environment, and learn more by being exposed to many different field positions, being given room to make decisions, and freedom to express themselves within their role on the team.
The DMCV SHARKS is a non-profit, volunteer organization that offers recreational programs, competitive programs and camps for players of all abilities from ages five to nineteen.
The club has been serving the community since its inception in 1970 and offers recreational programs, competitive programs and camps for players of all abilities. As one of the largest soccer clubs in the country, the Sharks deliver a quality soccer experience to thousands of kids each year. We are designated by Nike as an official Nike Premier Club.
Based in suburban Carmel Valley area, the club regularly contends for championships in state and regional soccer tournaments in all age groups. The hallmark of all DMCV Sharks teams is superb individual skills. Development of the individual player is emphasized over team success. However, winning is a natural consequence of maximizing each individual player’s potential. Players are given equal playing time in league games and are encouraged to pursue their highest individual goals.
Our goal is to provide the opportunity for each of our players to train and play soccer in an environment where they can develop both individually and as a part of a team. By providing a supportive yet challenging environment, we hope that all players will reach their full potential and play at the highest level possible for their ability.
