About
Slammers FC is a youth soccer club serving families across Orange County with a Newport Beach and Newport Mesa footprint, founded in 1994 around quality training, strong competition, and long college and beyond pathways. Slammers FC works as one family committed to excellence, backing that identity with deep boys and girls programming from introductory ages through high school ECNL levels.
What the club offers
Competitive boys programming spans Elite Clubs National League national-platform teams, ECNL Regional League maroon and white sides, Pre-ECNL groups for younger birth years, National Premier Leagues entries where offered, and additional flighted regional teams for developing players. Competitive girls programming mirrors that depth with ECNL, ECNL Regional League, and ECNL Regional League Southern California teams, plus Pre-ECNL, Pre-NPL, NPL, and So Cal–labeled younger groups. Several top girls teams carry the Slammers FC HB Køge designation alongside core Slammers FC rosters, reflecting the club’s European partner identity on select elite girls pathways. Rosters name clear birth-year bands from early elementary ages through combined U18/U19 groups.

Free Friday clinics invite girls born 2015 through 2018 to Irvine Terrace Park for weekly sessions led by Slammers FC staff, including coach Kelly Wherry, with registration through the club’s SportNgin Friday signup. Baby Slammers welcomes boys and girls ages three to five Monday through Thursday at Bonita Canyon Sports Park, Field 5, led by Newport Mesa director Jerry Laterza and other staff, with enrollment through the Newport Mesa Soccer Club SportNgin registration flow tied to that program.
