Important Documents
The following list of documents provides useful information about MVLA programs and policies
MVLA is consistently ranked by ECNL as a top-ten club in the country.
🏆 HISTORY MADE. 🏆
MVLA 2016G Blue are your NEW NorCal State Cup U10 Champions — the first State Cup title for this group!
Guided by Coach of the Year Esteban Sosa, who was recently named the 2024-25 ECNL Girls Coach of the Year, this team showed what true MVLA character looks like. Sosa led MVLA’s U16 Girls to a National Championship and shaped a culture of excellence and growth.
In one of the most competitive youth tournaments in the country, these girls earned every bit of their trophy. They played with craft, heart, and relentless energy — and this first‐ever title is a milestone that will last. 💙⚽️
Massive congratulations to the players. Thank you to Coach Sosa for his leadership. And a big shout-out to the families and support staff who showed up week after week. This chapter is just the beginning.
CHAMPIONS. FULLY DESERVED.

13B Leicester Gold as Dr. Osmin's Sick 7s
What happens when the whole team catches the latest brain rot phrase "6, 7"? They all become Sick 7s! Thank goodness we have Dr. "Coach" Osmin, and his wisdom and dedication to our team. With his leadership we can "kick" the "sick", out of our 7s!

18G White is Kicking It Inside Out:
Soccer, like life, is played from the inside out. Our team has experienced it all. Joy in our victories, Anger at tough calls, Fear and Anxiety before big games and Sadness after a tough loss. With a dash of Disgust, Envy, Embarrassment and even a little Ennui, our team - together with Coach Riley - are learning that understanding our emotions is what turns players into teammates.
⚽ Highlight Alert! ⚽
Our MVLA 2012G PSG ECNL-RL team came up big this weekend — two great goals in their 2-0 win over Placer United on October 19!
From smart build-up play to confident finishing, the girls showed great teamwork, composure, and creativity. 💙💚
Keep pushing, keep growing, and keep enjoying the game! 🙌

🏆 POY Reminder: Allison Park 🏆
A quick reminder of just how special this one is! Allison Park from our MVLA 09G ECNL team was named the 2024–2025 ECNL Girls U16 Player of the Year!
This week, Allison received a custom Nike jacket from ECNL to commemorate the honor, a well-deserved gift for a technical, creative, and incredible playmaker known for her vision, composure, and clinical finishing.
Her leadership helped guide MVLA to both the NorCal title and a National Championship, capping off an unforgettable season. 💫
Big thank you to ECNL for recognizing Allison’s amazing year, and to her incredible teammates and coaches who continue to push her and each other to new heights. 💙💚

Shining under the lights ✨
Here are our 2012s who took the field at the ECNL Spotlight (San Diego) — a showcase created for top U14 players to be seen by scouts and talent programs across the country. 
They competed hard, showed their skill, and represented MVLA with pride. Becoming a Spotlight selection is earned — it’s about being one of the best at your age and playing in a “best vs. best” environment. 
Huge respect to these girls. The journey continues. 💙💚 #MVLAPride #ECNLSpotlight #PlayerPathway #MVLAStrong
