Welcome To Los Angeles Soccer Academy!

TopLOCATIONS

We have two locations, Cheviot Hills and Inglewood. Both are separate programs with separate rates. To view information on Cheviot Hills, see the details below. For Inglewood, click the "LASA SOUTH" link at the top of this page.

TopCURRENT TRYOUTS

Club team tryouts (U8-U17) are open year-round, pending available spots. To schedule a tryout, please email us at: info@losangelessoccer.org.

TopOUR MISSION

Los Angeles Soccer Academy will improve the soccer skills, confidence and health of every player in a nurturing and safe environment. We will strive to reverse the trend of winning at all cost and focus on developing creativity, vision and character. Our USSF and NSCAA licensed coaches will challenge every player to reach their full potential, both on and off the soccer field.

TopOUR PROGRAMS

We currently have three options:

CLUB

The club team program is for players ready to play in a competitive Cal South soccer league against other clubs in Los Angeles. Tryouts are year-round. We currently have over 10 soccer teams in several boys and girls age brackets. Click the above link for details.

ACADEMY

Our quarterly academy program bridges the gap between AYSO and club soccer and is intended for players between 4 to 17 years old who are not quite ready for club but are ready to train in a fun, challenging and innovative soccer environment. This is an excellent supplement for AYSO players or club players seeking "an edge". All academy players are welcome to tryout for our club teams at any time during their training. Click the above link for details. [Please note we have 3 academy locations, Cheviot Hills, Inglewood and Compton. Please mention which one you are interested in when contacting us]

DIAMONDS SOCCER LEAGUE

DSL is a 4v4 youth league for 4-7 year olds (co-ed). There are only 6 players per team to insure quality playing time during games. Every player has a chance to develop their technical skills while playing in each of the four areas of the field. Our soccer coaches focus on fun, teamwork, creativity, responsibility and confidence. Our seasons are 8-10 weeks long, with 3-week breaks between seasons. Click the above link for details.

TopABOUT

Los Angeles Soccer Academy was established in 2011 by Alveraz Ricardez and Alex Mitrovich to provide the west LA community with a new approach to youth soccer development. LASA has since grown to over 300 families strong!

TopDEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY

LASA believes in technical development first. We encourage creativity and vision when faced with a challenge on the field. Our players are taught confidence and control. We believe in nurturing the player that wants to dribble the ball while exploring their options in any given situation during a game. By developing individual skills first, the soccer player becomes composed on the ball and is more open to team concepts when under pressure. By mastering their technical ability first, the player becomes well prepared for the competitive level.

Our soccer training combines the possession principles of Spain, the 4v4 foundations of Holland, the flair and creativity of Brazil, and the determination, hustle and pride of US soccer. In addition to developing individual skills, our USSF licensed coaches also teach principals of shape, teamwork, attack, vision, penetration, support, mobility, width, improvisation, pressure, cover, balance, delay, compactness, restraint and the counter-attack. At the end of every practice we incorporate match free-play to insure we allow the game to teach our players. All of our practices are founded on simple soccer, played smart.

We believe our focus on technical development will lead to a more well-rounded player and a stronger soccer IQ. Our approach is designed around the US Soccer Federation's Best Practices as well as proven techniques taught in several international world-class youth academies.
