The LA Galaxy Girls’ Academy are set to kick off their inaugural year in the founding season of the U.S. Soccer Girls’ Development Academy on Saturday, Sept. 2 at StubHub Center. Launched in 2016, the LA Galaxy Girls’ Academy became the first and only program to be fully-funded by a Major League Soccer side, allowing talented and local athletes to join free of charge.
For their first season, the Girls' Academy will feature four age groups: U-14, U-15, U-16/17 and U-18/19 competing in seven divisions across the country. All LA Galaxy Girls’ Academy teams will play 28 games over a 10-month season from September to July, including additional Winter, Spring and Summer Showcases and finally culminating in the Academy Championships.
