The proudest franchise in the sport of indoor soccer, the San Diego Sockers, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this season. The Legacy of Champions continues as the team is seeking its 15th title this season. The storied history of the team includes winning 14 championships, having a legendary coach in Ron Newman and the performances of great players who have donned the Sockers uniform since 1978.

The current edition of the Sockers returned to action in 2009 in the Professional Arena Soccer League after a five-year hiatus thanks to the leadership and inspiration of local businessmen David Pike, Carl Savoia, and Phil Salvagio. It was one thing to bring back the Sockers name, but these men knew the real work would be in restoring the Sockers’ dynastic domination of the sport. Salvagio, a former Sockers goalie, and the team’s Head Coach, carefully crafted a combination of rising young talent and the veteran leadership to guide and train the team.

The Sockers are the most successful indoor soccer team in the sport’s history. The team has won a total of 14 indoor championships in the Major Indoor Soccer League, Professional Arena Soccer League, and Major Arena Soccer Leagues combined. The Sockers also set a U.S. pro sports record with the longest winning streak boasting 48 straight wins during the 2011-2013 seasons.
