Legends FC Santa Clarita Valley Coach Adam Waddell has a lot to celebrate this summer, with two teams winning a National Championship.

Legends FC Santa Clarita Valley Girls 2007 team brought home another National Championship title for back-to-back titles and his Girls 2010 team secured their first National Championship.

The Lady Legends FC SCV G07 won their second National Title while competing in Oceanside, CA with a 1 – 0 win over FC Premier securing the 16U US Youth Soccer National League Elite 64 National Championship Title.

Throughout the Championship, they faced competition against teams from Washington, Colorado, and Utah before taking home the title.

“Talent wins games but soccer IQ and teamwork win National Championships,” Waddell said.

Over the last four years the Legends FC SCV G07 has won two National Championship titles in 2022 & 2023, advanced to the National Championships in 2021, 2022, & 2023, and were State Cup Champs in 2019, 2021, and 2022.

“This incredible team has made history for the Santa Clarita Valley once again bringing its second Club Soccer National Championship in two years and I am so proud of our Legends Family and the sacrifices made to get here,” said Coach Waddell. “Thank you to all of those who have supported us along the way. It’s been years of effort and a love of the game and each other that has gotten us here.”
