You could definitely call them the Southern California Blues. Since the formation of their first youth teams in 1990 they have become one of the most recognized girls' clubs in the Golden State. Under the leadership of director of coaching Larry Draluck and associate director Tad Bobak, they do things their own way. Yet Draluck insists that while championships are nice, they're not what the Blues are about. I men's and women's teams, sees soccer as a means to an end.
Soccer can shape someone's life.
Draluck should know. Though the girls on the Blues teams are seldom in desperate straits, Draluck feels the game can offer them many of the same life-long benefits. That's pretty dry, he admits. Our job is to give them the guidance to do that without taking too many wrong turns. Draluck knows that a few wrong turns are inevitable.
