About
Rangers FC South is a competitive youth soccer club rooted in North Orange County and the greater Anaheim area. The program grew from a small academy founded in 1998, aligned with Rangers FC in 2024 under the Rangers FC South name, and stays connected to the San Diego Surf franchise network, giving families access to national-track girls and boys pathways such as NPL, EA Boys, DPL Girls, and EGSL-style girls programming alongside strong local So Cal competition.
Programs and competitive levels
The club organizes girls and boys with birth years from 2016–17 through 2005 into competitive teams that play about ten months each year inside the So Cal soccer league ecosystem. Staff aim to field Flight 1, Flight 2, and Flight 3 teams across age groups so players can train and compete at an appropriate challenge level while still moving up when they are ready. Alumni have moved on to college soccer, and the club recruits heavily from the Orange Unified School District while welcoming players from nearby cities such as Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Villa Park, and Brea.
Training rhythm and facilities
Younger competitive groups from 2016 through 2009 typically train twice per week for about ninety minutes, while 2008 birth year and older teams usually train two or three times per week for two-hour sessions. High school–aged athletes receive extra work that can include strength and conditioning, life skills, and college recruitment preparation. Regular training sites include Serrano Elementary, Villa Park High School, Riverdale Park, Crescent Elementary, and Yorba Regional Park, with additional venue use tied to league schedules and age groups.
Philosophy, staff, and club life
The mission is to develop technically sound players who understand the game and can perform under pressure. Coaches stress teaching and long-term growth over short-term results alone, with attention to desire, attitude, intensity, character, and accountability. Club Director Eddie Carrillo has led the organization since its founding and also directs coaching at Chapman University; Technical Director Jose Vasquez brings professional playing experience including time with LA Galaxy; Romeo Aguinaldo leads girls programming with decades of Southern California coaching experience. The club also runs two annual tournaments that help fund equipment, travel, financial assistance, and day-to-day operations so family fees stay sustainable.
Tryouts, placement, and how to join
Each spring tryout cycle, professional coaching staff and club directors evaluate every age group. Head coaches then select rosters for the upcoming fall season based on those sessions. Families who want to join or transfer in should plan on attending spring tryouts and complete registration steps once they have contacted the club.
