SOCAL LEAGUE

SOCAL is the largest league in Southern California with teams from Ventura County down to San Diego County. Laguna Beach FC and all SOCAL member clubs are affiliates of US CLUB SOCCER.

Competitive play is “flight” based. Starting with Flight 4 and working up to Flight 1.

  • This is the top level of league competition with possible promotion to the Discovery NPL Flight 1 division. F1 teams compete in the SOCAL State Cup and have the opportunity to participate in College Showcases.

  • This is a more competitive level of play. F2 league games are scheduled geographically and they play a 12-game season, just like Flight 3. These teams participate in the SOCAL State Cup. The college-age players have the option to participate in SOCAL College Showcases.

  • The entry-level of club competition. Games are geographically scheduled within your city and county. These teams play a 12-game season from the weekend after Labor Day until just before Thanksgiving. SOCAL State Cup is optional for these teams.

  • This level is between Recreational and Competitive. This flight only plays a fall season (with an optional separate spring season). They play 12 games and do not have to play SOCAL State Cup.

VOLUNTEERS

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for LBFC! As a community-based nonprofit organization, LBFC relies on volunteer participation.
