The Decade of 2010-19 brought many great achievements by SSFAC, as excellent play from a constantly improving roster led the team to new heights and significant results. Among the many accomplishments was a 3 year stretch that saw the team compile a record of 32-13-8 scoring 161 goals and allowing 88. The 66 goals scored in 2011 was an all time best and in 2012, SSF went 9-3-4 with 50 GF 26 GA to earn them promotion to the PSL's top flight, the Majors Division. South City won 8 games or more every season except for 2016-17, and finished a decade 9 year run at 89-69-26 scoring 389 while allowing 397.
As the team finally began to establish themselves as a major player in the PSL, many players started to inquire about a tryout, hoping to land a spot on the club that was now challenging for the Division title every season. Change was also in the wind as coach Mike Pizzo retired after 34 seasons and remained as the teams administrator, while defender Scott Ellis took over the reigns with assistant coach Gareth Lea. Ellis then moved away after the 2018 season and Lea took over as player/coach, with his fellow teammates, Martin Wright, Djimbaye Andemel, & Greg Hui as his assistant coaches.
Going forward into 2020's, the team continued to excel as they won a Majors title in the PSL's final season as a league, under the guidance of Liga NorCal and eventually the Southwest Premier League where they currently play and look to be a major player in the Pacific Premier Division.
