Women's Club Soccer 2021-22

WHO WE ARE

UCLA Club soccer is, at its core, a group of girls united by their love of soccer, who, thanks to the team, get to continue to compete at an extremely high level. But beyond that, the team is family: fostering friendships, shaping healthy lifestyles and habits, building leaders, and so much more, on and off the field--ultimately creating a community truly like no other.

As a student-run club only partially funded by UCLA, we rely on individual player contributions and community donations, especially this year as we look to bring home another national title. In 2019, we raised just over $9,000, which allowed us to compete against teams all across the nation, and all the way to the semifinals of closed division nationals. The team is infinitely grateful for the support we have received, and we hope to continue to build on that success this year. In fact, we just participated in the national tournament in Foley, Alabama (11/17-11/21) and made it to the round of 16! With your help, we are hoping to raise $7,500 to cover travel, housing, equipment, and tournament expenses. 

PROGRAM HISTORY

The UCLA Women's Club Soccer team is a close-knit group of women who pride themselves on competing at a nationally ranked level while maintaining academic excellence and integrity on and off the field. As scholar athletes, practicing twice a week (due to limited field space) and playing games on the weekends, we devote our time and energy to cultivating healthy balance in our lives. Historically, this hard work has paid off. In 2019, our team made it to the semi finals of the closed division of the NIRSA national competition, and this year, we again competed in the closed division of nationals and made it to the round of 16! This 2021 season, we have already won our league by beating out top ranked in the teams from our region and hope to keep that momentum going in our next competitions as well as winter & spring league!

None of this would be possible without the generous gifts we receive from donors. Not only does it help fund our competitions and travel fees, but it also helps alleviate the financial stress for players who already pay for tuition, housing, textbooks, and food. Whatever amount we do not raise, we pay for out of pocket, which is why every amount makes a difference! With your help, players can continue to play the game they love without the financial stress, and, as an added benefit to donors, your donations are tax-deductible!

Thank you for taking the time to read about our team! We can not wait for winter & spring league and are so excited to see where the year takes us. We could not do it without you; go Bruins!
