About Us
Bridge Los Angeles is a locally owned and operated 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving students across the San Fernando Valley. Our Soccer is Life! program brings professional-level, after-school soccer instruction directly to school campuses — removing the cost and transportation barriers that keep so many kids out of organized sports.

Our head coaches are former semi-professional, professional, or Division I college players holding U.S. Soccer licenses or UEFA diplomas.

Our mission: Where passion for soccer meets purpose and growth.
