In Los Angeles — one of the most diverse and economically stratified cities in the world — thousands of children never get the chance to kick a soccer ball in an organized setting. Not because they don't want to. Because their families can't afford it.

Youth sports have become a luxury. Club soccer costs $2,000–$5,000 per year. Even recreational leagues can run $500+. For families living paycheck to paycheck, choosing between groceries and a soccer registration isn't a choice at all.

Nordic Soccer Alliance exists to change that. We believe zip code should not determine whether a child gets to play. We believe talent exists everywhere — it just needs a field, a ball, and a chance.

How Nordic Soccer Alliance Puts Kids on the Field

Scholarship Programs

Full and partial scholarships for families who can't afford registration fees. No child is ever turned away because of cost. We cover everything: registration, equipment, and coaching.

After-School Soccer Access

We partner with LAUSD schools across the San Fernando Valley to run after-school soccer programs on campus. Our recreational school league costs just $60/month — and scholarships are available for families who need help.

Talent Pathway

Exceptional young players from underserved backgrounds shouldn't be locked out of competitive soccer. We identify talented kids in our school programs and provide fully funded spots in club-level training and competition.

In 2025–2026, Nordic Soccer Alliance serves 1,000+ students across 15+ school campuses in Los Angeles.

Affordable Soccer for Every Family

Our recreational after-school soccer league runs on school campuses across the San Fernando Valley. For just $60 per month, your child gets:

Weekly coached sessions on their school campus
Professional, background-checked, CPR-certified coaches
All equipment provided (balls, cones, goals, jerseys)
A spot in the Viking League — organized weekend games against other schools

Can't afford $60/month?

That's exactly why we exist. Apply for a scholarship and we'll make sure your child still plays. No paperwork burden. No judgment. Just soccer.
