LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Thursday, Nov. 3, 2016) – The LA Galaxy announced today the addition of LA Galaxy Orange County to the LA Galaxy Alliance Club Program. The LA Galaxy Alliance Club Program is an extensive soccer development initiative for youth clubs that gives its members the best resources to reach their soccer and community potential. The club will change its name to LA Galaxy Orange County.
LA Galaxy Orange County becomes the fifth club in the LA Galaxy Alliance program, joining LA Galaxy South Bay, LA Galaxy San Diego, LA Galaxy Conejo Valley and LA Galaxy Bakersfield.
“The Galaxy continue to play a significant role in the development of the most talented youth players and coaches throughout Southern California,” said Zach Wells, Brand and Fan Development Manager of the LA Galaxy. “Committing to the development of youth soccer is extremely important and we are excited to continue to invest in the improvement of coaches and players across the country. Adding LA Galaxy Orange County demonstrates the value of our Alliance Program in reaching and engaging with youth teams across our region.”
The LA Galaxy create unique working relationships with each Alliance club to encompass community programs, technical development, scouting, coaching, and soccer operations, giving the youth soccer community an unprecedented level of access to professional soccer expertise and involvement. The Galaxy also share coaching and organizational resources, creating a common curriculum and methodology for developing young players, ensuring the Alliance Clubs are central to integrating players into the Academy and preparing players for college soccer.
Additionally, youth clubs in the program will be allowed the unique privilege of incorporating the LA Galaxy brand into their club name and wear the same color uniforms – navy, white and gold – in recognition of their partnership with the LA Galaxy.
Each LA Galaxy Alliance Club is chosen based on its strong quality of players, dedicated coaching staff and commitment to the community.
