Announcing the Real Laguna Football Club
Since the inception of the Laguna Niguel Youth Soccer Association three years ago, the LNYSA volunteers were committed to a player-centric philosophy and the continuous development of programs that parents and players were searching for in other leagues.
With CalSouth, the official Youth and Adult State Soccer Association for Southern California, as a supporter, LNYSA has reached out to 2,300 players from ages 5 – 19. In creating a vibrant and sustainable recreational program, parent and player feedback have been significant in expanding our league.
As players continue to develop their soccer skills and a desire for a more competitive environment, LNYSA is taking the next step by creating a Club Soccer Division
REAL LAGUNA will launch this March featuring an inaugural six teams in age divisions from 8-14 years old.
In addition to our great facilities, organizational strength and commitment, we recognize that to be successful at the club level circuits, professional licensed coach/trainers and assistants will be needed to lead Real Laguna with the support of the LNYSA organization as a primary player feeder group.
Real Laguna - “Developing players to their highest level” will be the commitment of each coach, player, parent and board member.
For more tryout information on Real Laguna, visit our website at www.reallaguna.org.
