What others say about SoCal Elite Sports


My son has attended the SoCal Elite volleyball program for around a year and has enjoyed every minute of it. He started off in the summer program and eventually worked his way up to the Intermediate Plus weekly class. His coaching has helped my son learn and advance quickly. We really appreciate Coach Tommy’s communication with us regarding updates on the classes and overall, it has been a really great experience.

We've had an excellent experience with SoCal Elite Sports – both in the regular league and on the travel team. What impressed our family about this league is the level of organization, commitment and training that our son receives. We have played in other basketball leagues locally and have found this one to be much more rigorous and with a higher degree of training. We are especially impressed with the caliber of coaches that they have recruited for the travel teams. Our kids are coached by coaches who coach at the competitive high school level, and bring a great deal of passion and educational skills to the game. We love this league!!!

The upsides: lower costs, high level professional coaching, tournament experience, great/fun practices, very competitive and an organization that cares about its athletes. This is my sons second full season with SoCal Elite and we have been very pleased with our experience.

SoCal Elite has it all. Whether you're looking for a rec league, a camp, weekly training or a club team, SoCal Elite has it covered. My son has been playing in SoCal Elite since kinder and started with the parent-coached rec league. That was was a great time coaching his teams for several years and seeing his growth as a player. So if you're looking for a great way to bond with your kid, SoCal Elite has it.
