During the summer of 1969, John Walker, Dennis Smith, Walt Ulica, were discussing the need of youth soccer in Northern Virginia. With this agreement, the Lee-Mt. Vernon Soccer Club (LMVSC) was born.

Ross Valley Breakers FC is located in Ross Valley, CA. A primary focus for the Breakers is to provide an environment that comes close to simulating the “pickup” games of our youth. Many of the players in today’s game were raised playing unsupervised soccer, or “street soccer.” In the US today, soccer is taught in a much more structured way. The Breakers believe in a blend of structured practice and small sided free play so that players can experiment with what they have learned, grow in confidence and make mistakes.
Vision Training Soccer Academy
The Vision Training System is a specialized training system that combines aspects of experiential learning and decision making strategies with research-based technical and tactical soccer training. Founded in 1981 by directors Len Bilous and TJ Kostecky, the Vision Training System teaches players to “See The Field” and make decisions on their own, which is a vital part of youth development. By “Seeing The Field,” players identify and make the best tactical choices, becoming better in much less time than with ordinary soccer training. Players who learn the Vision Training System ease into a creative and self-confident mode when handling the ball and are empowered.
