Why Uprising Football Club?

  • Most programs run drills. The Uprising FC builds players and works to change the culture around development.

    In the current U.S. youth soccer system, the incentives often reward short-term wins and early physical dominance. True technical growth, decision-making, and long-term development get pushed aside.

    The Uprising FC steps in as a development support system for serious players and forward-thinking clubs. In the existing U.S. club structure, most teams simply don’t have the bandwidth to deliver high-repetition, high-accountability technical training alongside everything else they’re responsible for.

    We don’t chase shortcuts or recycle cone patterns. We build complete players through structured, small-group training that mirrors real game demands and follows a clear long-term progression.

    Every session has purpose. Every phase has progression. Every player is accountable.

    This isn’t about more touches. It’s about raising standards, smarter decisions, sharper execution, stronger character, and preparing players for the next level, not just the next weekend.

  • The Uprising FC gives serious players access to elite-level training without the one-hour commute. With current and former college players from programs like UCLA training right here in the community, the standard and culture of high-level play are built into the environment.

    Uprising delivers structured, development-focused training locally, giving families access to top-tier coaching and a competitive soccer culture right here in West Los Angeles.

    Locations include: Westside Los Angeles, Orange County: Fullerton, Chapman

  • The Uprising FC Elite Development Program (EDP) First Team is built for serious players pursuing the next level. Athletes earn meaningful opportunities to compete and travel in top environments, gain exposure to local academies, and connect with college programs nationwide. Every opportunity is earned through commitment, consistency, and measurable growth.

    We develop complete players; technically sharp, tactically intelligent, physically prepared, and mentally strong. Training is structured, demanding, and built for long-term progression.

    The Uprising FC exists to change the culture of American soccer by prioritizing development over short-term wins. In a system often driven by immediate results, we stay committed to building disciplined, resilient competitors prepared for the highest levels of the game, because at The Uprising FC, development comes first and opportunity pathways follow performance.

What People Are Saying

  • Our family has been part of Uprising for five years. Keaton joined the summer before her sophomore year of high school, and Cody began as an 8th grader. Both had goals of playing in college, and we were looking for a program that offered structure, accountability, and a true long-term development pathway. From the 6am training sessions to the daily expectations around preparation and professionalism, Uprising immediately set a higher standard. That consistency built discipline and habits that shaped not only their performance on the field, but how they approached school, leadership, and responsibility. Today, Keaton is playing at Chapman University, and Cody will be heading to LMU next year — milestones that reflect years of focused, disciplined development. What sets Uprising apart is the culture. The training is high-level and purposeful, but it’s more than technical development — it’s about character, resilience, and leadership. Both Keaton and Cody grew tremendously in confidence, decision-making, and maturity. Training alongside athletes who share similar values elevated them daily. Uprising played a meaningful role in preparing them for college soccer and for life beyond the game. We are incredibly grateful for the impact it has had on our family.

  • Carlos and the Uprising program have been instrumental in preparing my children to play college soccer. The program’s wholistic focus on development - not just on the pitch but also at home, nutrition, sleep, recovery, academics, and the mental side of performance - has been critically important to my boys’ success as college-level student athletes.

    Adam Weene (Parent)

  • Uprising was a critical part of my son’s development to ultimately become a recruited soccer player in college. He was looking for training opportunities outside of his high school and club teams, and being able to join a community so committed to training and playing high level soccer was invaluable. Carlos and his team are incredibly skilled coaches, love what they do, and lead by example on and off the field. Uprising was pivotal in helping my son achieve his goals, and I cannot recommend this program enough.
