The first team is the club’s premiere team, the shining star of Atlético.  Highly competitive soccer players of pedigree whose sole mission is to win.  The spine of the First Team has remained the same since the inception of the club in 2011, but turnover has also been great with new players being added every season.  Competition for spots on the first team is very competitive and we instruct our coaches to design their lineups on what is best for each game.

The First Team was literally our first team, ever.  Assembled from the best players from Saturday Pickup Soccer , this team is the foundation of our entire club.  Year over year, we are able to attract better, younger and fitter talent by offering a near professional level soccer experience.  This does not come without pressure on the players as there is an expectation to win games and excel.  We are constantly striving to improve the experience of our players, keep them motivated to win, and work hard to give them the tools to win.

The First Team is unique in this regard.  Not all of our teams have such a laser focus on positive results.  Some of our lower division teams are designed to provide an amazing soccer experience for players across the range of backgrounds, while others are designed to develop players for the first team.

The first team represents the best of what we’re capable of and will continue to evolve over the years.  It is the pinnacle of our soccer ec0-system and the true Pride of the Eastside of Los Angeles.
