Congratulations to all the Locomotive teams for their amazing performances at these tournaments. 

Over the March 6-7 weekend, two Locomotive teams (u13 Blue & u14 Blue) traveled to Phoenix to take on the Phoenix Rising teams that compete in the MLS-Next & ECNL National Leagues.

As the u13's and u14's begin the spring season, the quality Phoenix Rising youth teams provided an excellent pre-season test for the the Locomotive squads.

Under new coach Jair Olivares, the 2008 (u13) team faced a very talented Phoenix MLS-Next team on Saturday.  The boys took away many lessons from that game, reflected overnight, and came out strong the next day against the ECNL team.  In a very even game, the Locomotive team battled hard, played well and just missed out on the draw, giving up a penalty kick to lose 1-2.

Coach Omar Morin has his 2007 (u14) Locomotive team steaming ahead.  Against the Phoenix MLS-Next and ECNL teams, Locomotive posted impressive 4-1 and 7-1 victories.  It was a fantastic performance by the u14 squad, who are posed for a fantastic future.

Scroll down to see all the exciting news and announcements from the Fall 2020 season - the launch of the Locomotive Youth Soccer Club and the tremendous success our teams had during that first season.

The local El Paso league finished the Fall 2020 season - and Locomotive youth teams continued their success on the field.  Director of Youth Soccer for Locomotive FC, shared these thoughts.  "I think we had a couple of weekends where our whole Club went undefeated in league games.  All 16 teams.  To be getting these results, at the end of the season, shows the way our teams have developed.  Our coaches weren't concerned with game results back in August.  They were focusing on how the players performed and how the team was playing together.  That attention to development showed as all of our teams are now playing very good soccer."

With the local league finished for the season, Locomotive teams will wrap up the fall season with some post-season events and inter-club activities.  Older teams will take a break during the HS season and younger teams will be eager to start training again in early 2021.

"Overall, it was a fantastic 1st season for the Locomotive Youth Soccer Club", " We had a few challenging games in league play, the practice environment was excellent and our coaches did a great job in providing quality experiences for the players on their teams.  And better things are coming in the future!"

Youth Soccer for El Paso Locomotive FC, proudly announced the youth teams that will represent Locomotive for the Fall season.

"While the team formation process was tricky this spring, we are thrilled with the squads we have put together and the coaches we have leading these teams.  These Locomotive youth teams will compete in local, regional and national events and players will experience the connection to the Locomotive FC professional team."

"We are very proud of the 16 teams (u11 - u18) we have formed for boys this season - and look forward to launching the girl's side of the Locomotive Youth Soccer Club in the future."
