MORE INFO

Welcome to JNR BALLR Laguna Beach – Laguna’s freshest take on recreational soccer! Born from a love for the game and a passion for youth development, JNR BALLR was created to fill the gap left by AYSO. Our mission is to carry forward the joy and accessibility of recreational soccer, but with a more modern, energized, and professional approach.

We want to take the good times and make them better – helping young players grow as confident individuals on and off the field, while developing a lasting love for the game.

We are super excited to announce that JNR BALLR will be offering an after-school program at T.O.W and El Morro. Limited spots available!
