OUR HISTORY

In October of 2002, there were three storied local men’s soccer teams that practiced at the Crossroads School field in sunny Santa Monica, California. They were Avanti FC, Tsunami SC (now Pacific Athletic FC), and the Santa Monica Eagles. They came together with the goal of founding a West Los Angeles over-30 league that would be non-profit and place a high priority on contests with excellent sportsmanship. The inaugural season LAPL I began with Avanti FC, Tsunami SC, the Santa Monica Eagles, and FC United Nations. The league expanded to five teams the next season, eight teams by LAPL III, and ten teams by Season XI.

LEAGUE CUP HISTORY
Once the league had expanded to eight teams, it was only natural to add a league cup knockout tournament at season's end. The first was played at the end of the LAPL IV season. Originally named the "X-Cup" after our playing site of Crossroads School, the cup name now exists to honor fatherhood for various managers. Unfortunately, naming a cup after your offspring is a sure way to guarantee your squad's quick exit from the tourney, as no manager has yet to win one named after their own child.
