The league provides competitive opportunities for boys and girls teams from U7 through U19, with a strong focus on player development, meaningful competition and creating the right environment for players to grow.
For SoCal Reds FC, competing in SOCAL provides our teams with a high-quality league platform where players can challenge themselves, develop their game and compete against clubs from across Southern California.
TOURNAMENTS
Throughout the year, our teams compete in a variety of tournaments across Southern California and beyond.
These events give players the opportunity to test themselves against new teams, experience different styles of play and put their training into action in a competitive environment. From local events to larger tournaments, every experience is designed to challenge players, build team unity and create memorable experiences together.
THE OPPORTUNITY
The Competitive Program gives players of all ages and levels the opportunity to be part of a team, compete throughout the year and develop in a professional soccer environment.
Players train multiple times each week, compete in a structured league system and take part in tournaments and meaningful games throughout the year. Every session and match is an opportunity to improve, build confidence, learn how to work as part of a team and develop the habits and character that extend far beyond the field.
Our goal is to create an environment where players can enjoy competing, challenge themselves, build lifelong friendships and learn valuable life lessons through the game.
WHO IS IT FOR?
For players ages U6–U19 who are ready to be part of a team and enjoy playing competitive soccer.
Players should have some previous soccer experience, be ready to train multiple times each week and commit to practices, games and tournaments throughout the year.
Whether your child is taking their first step into competitive soccer or continuing their development at a higher level, Competitive provides the environment to learn, compete, grow and build towards their next step.
WHAT PLAYERS GAIN
Players gain more than just soccer skills. Through regular training, competition, tournaments and being part of a team, they learn to live our core values of Ambition, Commitment, Dignity and Unity.
They develop the ambition to improve, the commitment to their team and their own development, the dignity to respect themselves, their teammates, coaches and opponents, and the unity that comes from working together towards a common goal. Along the way, players build confidence, resilience, responsibility, friendships, independence and leadership - while developing a lifelong love of the game.
THE PATHWAY FROM COMPETITIVE
"We signed up my two girls for the Red’s Rec program and have been really liking it. It is by far the best value both in monetary and training terms. I’ve noticed the program has changed from the previous time we had signed up. What I like most is the professional coaches and the trainings they do before a game and during the week. I will be recommending the Red’s program to my friends and family due to the professional coaching that’s included."
