LA Breakers FC was formed in 2018 with the merger of FC Los Angeles (an all-boys club) and Westside Breakers (an all-girls club); the two clubs had previously shared field space and philosophies, and merged to further develop their players, teams, and coaches, while improving the overall soccer landscape in Los Angeles. The two former clubs had a long, consistent track record of player development and placement, with numerous alumni represented at the collegiate, national team, and professional levels, including Haji Wright (currently competing in Europe) and Ali Riley, captain of New Zealand’s women’s national team and competing locally for Angel City FC. Recent notable alumnae include Malina Yago (Brown University), Ashley Naylor (Notre Dame), Lauren Bolte (University of Michigan), Ally Reynolds (University of Virginia), and Natalie Barnouw (MIT); and recent notable alumni include Andrew Valverde (Gatorade National Player of the Year in California, UCLA), Levi Pillar (Brown University), Pablo Greenlee (UCLA), and Pierrick Gould (Georgetown). The club eliminates barriers for participation with a robust financial assistance program for qualifying families, and welcomes families of all backgrounds and experiences to be part of the Breakers Family.
