Slammers FC

What Slammers FC does

Slammers FC is a private, founder-owned youth soccer club founded in 1994 and headquartered in the Costa Mesa / Newport Beach area of Southern California. The club operates a multi-tier competitive program for boys and girls from early childhood (Baby Slammers and Junior Slammers for ages 3-5+) through U19, with teams competing in ECNL (the top tier), ECNL RL (regional league), NPL, and the SOCAL Soccer League. The HB Køge-branded girls program represents the elite international-facing layer of the offering, while free community clinics, summer camps, and goalkeeper camps provide entry-level and ancillary products.

The business generates revenue primarily through recurring club membership and registration fees for competitive teams, one-time fees for summer and goalkeeper camps (e.g., Summer Camp 2026 priced at $225-$300 for a 3-day camp), and tax-deductible donations supporting the Share the Dream Scholarship fund, which subsidizes 125+ players annually. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on standard registration tooling (sportngin.com), Instagram as the primary marketing channel, and the club website. The organization has 24 employees and no disclosed parent company, institutional investment, or funding rounds.

Over 30 years, Slammers FC has compiled a track record of 23 national championships, 6 ECNL Girls Overall Club Championships (the most of any club since the award's inception in 2011), 33 national finalist appearances, 6 ECNL RL Championships, and 1,047+ college soccer commitments, including 46 NCAA Division I commits in the Class of 2026. The annual 3-day College Event brings 70+ colleges and universities to Saddleback College as the central recruiting touchpoint, and three club alumni are world champions.
