How competitive is WHSC?

We have something for every level. From our competitive LA Muni and Glendale rosters to our recreational OutLoud Sports teams and low-key internal league — you'll find a spot that fits where you're at. Whether you've never played before or played D1 in college, you're welcome here.

Is it just cis gay men?

Absolutely not. WHSC welcomes all members of the LGBTQ+ family and our allies. We field competitive and recreational teams across all-gender, women's/non-binary, and mixed formats. We're proud to be one of the most inclusive clubs in the country and we're committed to continuing to grow that.

One thing worth knowing — our all-gender LA Muni teams play in a league classified as "Men's" and compete against predominantly cisgender male teams. We want everyone to feel informed and comfortable before signing up for a roster.

What's the difference between competitive and recreational rosters?

Our competitive rosters (LA Muni, Glendale) require tryouts, have attendance expectations, and play against other league teams at a higher level. Our recreational options (OutLoud Sports, Internal Club League, open practices) are more flexible, lower pressure, and open to all skill levels without tryouts.

Do I need to try out?

Only for competitive rosters. Tryouts are held before each LA Muni season — you must attend a minimum number of tryouts to be considered and must be a dues-paying member in good standing. Recreational rosters and open practices do not require a tryout.

What do I need to bring to practice?

Turf shoes only — no cleats on our turf field. Bring water and yourself. We'll handle the rest.

Does WHSC do more than just soccer?

Yes! We host watch parties for LAFC, Angel City FC, USWNT and USMNT games, club socials, fundraisers, and community events throughout the year. We're an active part of the LA LGBTQ+ community and regularly participate in local events and campaigns. Friends of the club are always welcome to join us off the pitch too.
