LA Galaxy vs San Jose Earthquakes

Before high school soccer, before the academy system...and before Google Maps, a small all-star team from Southern California started to make waves at the youth level. Who would have thought a team of rec. league kids could be taught to play the Brazilian way before their 10th birthdays. This photo series documents a typical weekend growing up. From traveling together on the team bus, to watching the LA Galaxy, at what was once called The Home Depot Center, these were the memories that shaped the rest of our lives.
