About
Los Angeles Bulls Soccer Club (LA Bulls) is a nonprofit youth soccer organization rooted in Pacific Palisades, serving West Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, and Santa Clarita with coed recreational play, developmental pathways, and competitive club teams. Families can start in JR. Bulls, advance into U6–U19 competitive rosters, or pursue elite college-track teams tied to MLS NEXT for boys and the Development Player League (DPL) for girls.
What the club offers
JR. Bulls welcomes boys and girls from U4 through U10 in a once-a-week training rhythm with Saturday game days, optional extra sessions, and an official jersey so newcomers build confidence before full club commitment. A Pre-Club division for U7–U10 trains twice weekly (Tuesdays and Thursdays) with Saturday matches to sharpen fundamentals ahead of competitive tryouts. Competitive teams span U6–U19 for boys and girls with professional coaching focused on technique, spacing, and positional awareness plus team tactics in structured environments. Elite college-travel squads add showcase trips, individualized recruitment support, and high-level league play. Seasonal camps at Palisades Charter High School mix recreational weeks for U5–U12 with elite and goalkeeper blocks for older players, alongside private training, goalkeeper work, mental performance coaching, and community events such as the LA Champions Cup and Parent Cup.
Development philosophy
The club mission centers on educating players beyond the field—building intelligent, technical, confident athletes while teaching life skills inside a positive environment. High-level coaches and a community-focused culture support each player’s chosen pathway, whether the goal is recreational fun, competitive growth, or collegiate recruitment. Competitive training emphasizes fundamentals and tactical maturity; elite programming layers college showcase planning, travel discipline, and player development plans for athletes targeting the next level.
Where teams train and compete
West LA home training uses Paul Revere Charter Middle School and Daniel Webster Middle School, with Palisades Charter High School hosting camps and many activities. San Fernando Valley training centers on Berkeley Hall School and Goals on Line (GOL). Santa Clarita programming is coordinated through a dedicated branch contact. League affiliations include MLS NEXT for top boys pathways, DPL for elite girls development linked to Girls Academy standards, and SOCAL Soccer League flights including National Premier Leagues (NPL) plus Coast Soccer League options for tiered local competition. Field guidelines stress safe spectator zones, no pets, and alcohol-free sidelines at Paul Revere; Berkeley Hall enforces campus arrival windows, parking near tennis courts, and restricted access beyond permitted soccer areas.
Practical next steps for families
Fall JR. Bulls seasons typically run early September through late November with registration fees that bundle uniform and administrative costs—$350 for one practice per week plus Saturday games, $450 for Pre-Club’s two weekly sessions, and $100 add-ons for extra training days. Families choose Paul Revere Charter Middle School or Valley United Soccer Complex for many JR. Bulls sessions. Competitive and elite prospects should attend tryouts when windows open; MLS NEXT boys face year-round training expectations (roughly three to four practices weekly, extensive league and showcase travel, full kit purchases, VEO filming, and individual development plans) while scholarships may offset costs for qualifying households. Email info@labulls.org or contact branch directors—Mele French for West LA/DPL, Kyle McLeod for San Fernando Valley, Kristina Silverman for Santa Clarita—for tryout timing, JR. Bulls questions (program director Sabrina Petrini), or financial aid applications.
