Southern California Seahorses

Since 1983, the Southern California Seahorses have been impacting the community of La Mirada, as well as over 15 countries around the globe. Our founders dreamed of competing at a high level of soccer, but for something much more than the mere glory of the game. Ultimately, the Seahorses do all that we do for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Seahorses function as the heart to numerous after-school clinics, camps, international tours, and many other outreach programs.

PDL Team
The Seahorses PDL team is part of the United Soccer League (USL), and competes from May to July with playoffs ending in August. Tryouts are typically in February and March. This team not only competes at the highest level of soccer, but also provides a platform for players to step onto the professional soccer stage of the MLS. We have sent players to various MLS teams and other professional clubs around the world.

Playing for the Seahorses’ PDL team is a different experience from all other PDL teams. Our players compete in one of the toughest divisions of this semi-pro league. Our program is led by A license head coach and assistant coach. While competing at this level our players are trained in sports ministry. This is something new for most. It’s a time of learning that soccer is a great platform to go and use it to be an influential player or coach. This is done with teaching in theory and in a practicum way through clinics, camps, trip to Mexico and other opportunities that the platform of soccer offers. We like to say that we bring soccer players who happen to be Christ-followers and send them out at the end of the season being Christ-followers who happen to play soccer.

Summer Camps
Our camps strive for excellence in developing soccer skills and character in all players that participate. For over 30 years, our camps have provided experienced coaching staff and Bible based curriculum, helping kids succeed both on and off the field.
