COLLEGE TRAVEL

Our focus, both on and off the field, is player development and preparation to play collegiate soccer.
LA Bulls technical staff are Olympians, former professional and collegiate players committed to preparing youth players to perform at their highest level while supporting them through the challenging yet exciting recruiting process. This includes helping to put together player's soccer reel, suggesting ID camps, communicating with college coaches, and highlighting academic importance.
Players will compete in college showcases and tournaments. These events are budgeted and designed for the LA Bulls players and staff, only. This format allows players the opportunity to focus on their performance without outside distractions while the Bulls staff provides tools and resources necessary for athletes to compete successfully.
Competing successfully means players give 100% both on and off the field. They play to compete, they play for each other, and they support one another, win, lose, or draw. While the Bulls staff continues to strive to impart the significance of taking care of one's mind and body, players are dedicated to their development with the team and train on their own.
