Our student athletes are from the Southeast side of Chicago and attend Gallistel LA. They are inner city students with love and passion for the sport of soccer. Our school's soccer program is highly competitive, (2015 Citywide Champions, '17 '18 Conference Champions) while instilling a fun atmosphere and enforcing good sportsmanship. We teach our student athletes how to be leaders and prepare them for the road ahead.
We pride ourselves in instilling to our student athletes the importance of excelling both on and off the field.
We encourage them to be just as excited about helping the community as they are for soccer by volunteering at local community events.
What makes our players special is that despite overwhelming odds growing up in a tough neighborhood on the South side of Chicago, they maintain their energy and passion for the sport of soccer; there is no challenge they will not take head on.
