Mission: Lamorinda soccer club trains youth soccer teams to compete with other teams on a local, regional, and state-wide basis. Emphasis is also to build character and learning life skills for each individual player.
Programs: Lamorinda soccer club fields u6 through u23 girls and boys soccer teams which compete in play dates, jamborees, tournaments, and leagues within northern california. Lamorinda soccer club strives to create a positive environment in which all players are encouraged to reach their fullest potential as a soccer player, while developing a love and passion for the game itself. Our younger players/teams (u6-u11) play for several months of the year and develop their individual ability as they progress through the foundation phase of the technical development program, where the focus is on graduating players with good individual ability players with excellent mastery of the ball, a good basic understanding of the games concepts, and the ability and confidence to express both in their own individual style of play.
the older age-groups (u12-u23) play close to year-round and continue to develop their game in the competitive phase of the program, where the focus is now on using the team organization to play competitively. Competitive age-groups teams are sub-divided into class-1 ( premier, gold, silver,bronze) depending on a players ability and interest level/commitment to becoming a competitive soccer player. In addition, the technical director will on occasion and in the interest of player development select the stronger, more-talented players from two consecutive age-group division-1a teams to form a high-level team. This gives the clubs top competitive players the opportunity to play together on the same team against more challenging opposition and to travel to more competitive, or to college showcase
tournaments, such as those attended by college coaches.
