What We Do
- Through LAFC Chelsea, we provide full and partial scholarships for economically disadvantaged youth to belong to and benefit from the leading soccer academy in the country (an average cost of $2,000 – $3,000 per year per child). We offer scholarships to private high schools, tutoring and mentoring programs, and home stays and living expenses for those players who travel from other states and countries to attend the Academy.
