A strong youth level is the essence and foundation of every successful soccer club.
One of the most important missions of our soccer club is to provide our community's youth with professional training and participation in recreational and competitve leagues such as the USL Super Y-League. We seek to give our young and skilled players the opportunity to become professional players, playing in the USL Super 20 League (under the age of 20) and the PDL (Premier Development League - under the age of 23).
Younger children (age 4 - 13) practice and play with our Little Galactics League, while older kids (14 - 20) play in such competitive leagues as the USL Super Y-League (Under 14, U 15, U 16, U 17 and U 20).
As our famous Technical Director of Player Development Carlos "El Pibe" Valderrama said during an interview,
"Galactics F.C. is dedicated to helping children prepare mentally and physically to become role models for the future. Our mission is to develop players, not just accept the best through try-outs. Everyone is welcome at our club."
