Who We Are
The West Hollywood Soccer Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that began in 1985 as the Los Angeles Suns. Our founding eight players envisioned creating a team that was welcoming and served as a safe space for all LGBTQ+ players and our allies.
Our club has become more than just a soccer club, but has grown into an organization that supports its members on and off the pitch. WHSC is a visible and active member of the larger Los Angeles LGBTQ+ community hosting fundraisers, socials, and volunteering to engage with and support our expanding community.
