NEXT Scrimmages & Select Tournament Teams
NEXT is an opportunity for 10U, 12U, and 14U players to play more soccer.
- It starts in the fall with enthusiastic kids who want a challenge getting together on Sundays to play a scrimmage.
- As the fall season progresses, coaches will arrange scrimmages with teams from around Southern California
- In December, there are two tournaments, including the prestigious Sportsmanship Cup in Beverly Hills
- In the Spring, the NEXT group will practice up to twice a week and travel to compete in tournaments in exotic places like Glendale, Diamond Bar, Culver City, Huntington Beach, and more.
NEXT is open to all players who love soccer, and are seeking advanced play with friendly teammates. Coaches will form competitive rosters for each tournament from players participating in NEXT practices, not all players will be able to participate in every tournament.
NEXT will depend on volunteer coaches to organize teams.
