Angel City FC Community Clinic at the YMCA, Oct 17

Angel City FC says it is bigger than the game, and this Saturday-morning clinic is a small proof of that. The club is joining the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles for a free community soccer session on October 17, 2026, with the promise that families can come ready to play, learn and connect with their neighborhood.

It is the kind of thing that earns a spot on a list of things to do with kids LA has on offer this fall: a morning on the grass, no tickets to buy, and a club that actually shows up in the community instead of just filling a stadium.

When: Saturday, October 17, 2026, 9:30 to 11:00 AM Where: 18810 Vanowen St, Los Angeles, CA 91335 Cost: Free, with registration on Eventbrite Hosts: Angel City FC and the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles

What to expect

A community clinic is a practice-style session rather than a match. Expect warm-ups, passing and ball-handling drills, and plenty of time with a ball at your feet. The event page describes the morning as a chance to play, learn and connect, so the pace is built for participation, not competition. Nobody is being scouted here.

The cover photo from the organizer shows exactly the vibe: young players in pink Angel City training kits, a few balls scattered across a grass field, and a relaxed warm-up. Bring that same energy and you will fit right in.

Registration and availability

Registration runs through Eventbrite, and the listing was showing as sold out when we last checked. Your best move is to open the event page, see whether any spots have reopened or a waitlist has been added, and check back closer to the date, since free events often release spots as plans change. If you do get a spot, the ticket is free.

Practical tips

• Wear closed-toe athletic shoes and clothes you do not mind getting grass stains on.
• Bring a filled water bottle and sunscreen. October mornings in LA can warm up quickly.
• Plan to arrive a little early for check-in, especially with younger kids.
• Parking details were not listed, so look at the Eventbrite page for any updates from the organizers.

Where it fits

For anyone building a weekend plan, this is an easy pairing with other family events Los Angeles offers on a Saturday, since it wraps up by 11 AM and leaves the afternoon open. It also rounds out a weekend of kids activities LA parents can choose from without paying for admission. Browse more in our family events category for what else is coming up this month.

If the clinic is full, keep an eye on Angel City FC and the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles for future community sessions. Community sessions like this one tend to come back, so it is worth following both.
