With all this guessing on who’s going to ECNL, read this...looks like this new LASC (Some of the Old LA Surf DA/SoCal Academy) is going ECNL sooner than later..
To The Families of Strikers FC ECNL & Los Angeles Soccer Club,
We hope all of you are safe and healthy as you read this. The past few weeks have been incredibly challenging for our families and communities, stressing all aspects of our home, work and school lives. Activities we took for granted in February now seem like distant memories. Whatever your family’s individual situation, we hope that you are well, and being kind to yourself as you manage through this once-in-a-generation event.
While it is impossible to know for certain how long this period will last, when we’ll be able to resume “normal” life, and what that life will look like in the weeks and months ahead, we wanted you to know that we have not stopped looking for ways to improve our organizations, the opportunities for our players and the community at large. The last month has, in fact, been a rare opportunity to focus on how we can make our clubs and our community stronger when we come out of this tremendous period of uncertainty.
It is along these lines that we are proud to announce a working partnership between Los Angeles Soccer Club and Strikers FC ECNL to expand Girls ECNL’s footprint into the San Gabriel Valley. The partnership brings together two incredible organizations each focused on player development and leadership on and off the field, fostering a sense of club citizenship and ownership by our players and families, and creating strong ties to the communities we play in. Both Strikers and LASC will continue to operate under their own identity while working together to bring some of Southern California’s strongest coaching talent under the same roof, creating a bridge between two talented player pools in Los Angeles and Orange County.
As we move through this period of uncertainty, we want all of you to know we will have an even stronger program waiting for the players when they return to the fields. Additional details will follow in the weeks ahead, but for now, continue to be safe, focus on family and know that our community will rebuild stronger than ever before.
Sincerely,
Rob Fisher, Strikers FC ECNL
Matt Bradbury, Los Angeles Soccer Club
