Want a different team?

LA Galaxy’s international profile rocketed in 2007 following the signing of David Beckham from Real Madrid, despite football (or soccer) being a lesser known entity across the pond. Since then the sport has been gathering momentum and LA Galaxy has been instrumental in the development of the sport in the US.

You will train and play at The Home Depot Center, a 125-acre development in Carson, California, featuring state-of-the-art stadiums and facilities for football, tennis, track & field, cycling, lacrosse, rugby, volleyball, baseball, basketball and other sports. The Center is the nation’s most complete training facility. As well as the Galaxy, the Home Depot Center is the training headquarters for the United States Soccer Federation Men’s and Women’s National Teams, as well as the David Beckham Academy. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience first hand how football (or soccer) is played on the other side of the pond, so why not make LA Galaxy the location of your next football tour and experience training and development from the US’s finest team.

 

Los Angeles Galaxy (or L.A. Galaxy) is based in Los Angeles, California. In 1995 the club became one of the original ten founding franchises of MLS.

L.A. Galaxy play their home matches at The Home Depot Center in suburban Carson, California, along with arch-rival, Chivas USA.
