Our History
Los Altos Soccer Club for boys was created in 1972, and it was not until years later that it became Mountain View Los Altos Soccer Club for both boys and girls. Since the beginning the club has inspired young players in their pursuit of soccer through dedication and determination while never sacrificing the joy of playing the game.
