Pre Club Academy (PCA)

LA Galaxy Orange County Pre Club Academy (PCA) was founded in the Spring of 2014 to create a bridge between our recreational Junior Development League and our club teams. It is a crucial step on the LAGOC Player Pathway Pyramid. With player development and progression in mind, PCA invites talented players from local recreation leagues, as well as the standout performers from our Junior Development League, to work with professional coaches twice a week to cultivate their soccer skills and techniques.

PCA is a program that offers organized soccer for players aged 6* through 12 who want to play at a more competitive level, but want to remain in recreational soccer. It is also serves as a fantastic platform for the players that want to push themselves and eventually be part of the club soccer world. It lays the foundations for all players to move up their soccer ladder.
*5 year olds who are 6 in the calendar year are accepted into the program in the Spring.
