About
New Orleans Spartans Football Club (NOSFC) is a New Orleans youth soccer organization built around a clear mission: help players grow into skillful athletes, good teammates, and quality people. The club has operated since 2013 under founder Fabrice Pastor and pairs rigorous training with professional coaching and the staffing structure families expect from a competitive club.
What the club offers
Coaching runs under a club Director of Coaching who coordinates professional coaches across teams. The club runs tryouts and roster spots for boys and girls across age brackets. Online registration is set up through TeamSnap forms for Fall for School, YDP Ballers at 11U-12U, 13U, and combined 14U-18U offerings, so families can choose the band that matches their player.
Philosophy and recognition
On the field, NOSFC emphasizes a competitive environment driven by style of play and individual development rather than treating wins and losses as the main measure of success. Players receive training aimed at technical growth and lessons that carry beyond soccer.
Louisiana’s first Presidents Cup national championship sits alongside national recognition for coaching leadership, including NFHS Girls Soccer Coach of the Year honors for Alexi Petrou for 2020-2021. Petrou serves as Director of Player Development (Girls) and as head coach for the 2006 boys and 2003 girls groups, while also leading the women’s program at Mt. Carmel Academy; under his leadership a Spartans boys group won the Louisiana State Presidents Cup and advanced to the regional US Youth Soccer Presidents Cup in June 2021.
