  What an incredible turnout! Yesterday, the FC Balboa community gathered for our official uniform sizing event with our new partner, FLITE, and the energy was nothing short of electric. With over 250 players passing through, the atmosphere was a perfect kickoff to the 2026–2027 season. From our youngest prospects to our veteran players, the excitement for the new kits and the upcoming year was palpable. Seeing the club come together like this reinforces the strength of our community and the growth we’ve achieved over the last year. To order FC Balboa Gear: https://www.flitesports.com/collections/fc-balboa-team-gear The initial ordering window is open now through March 22nd. If you miss this deadline, don't worry—another window will open immediately following our mid-April sizing event (TBD) to ensure everyone is geared up for the season. A Message from the Director of Coaching, Chhem Young-Penn, shared his thoughts on the success of the event: "Seeing over 250 of our athletes come together yesterday was a powerful reminder of how much this club has grown. There is a renewed sense of pride and energy as we transition into our new naming tiers and partner with FLITE. The new kits look fantastic, but more importantly, the atmosphere showed that our players are hungry and ready for the challenges of the new season. We couldn't be more excited to see this energy carry over onto the pitch." A Special Thank You to Fairplay!

Their commitment to North Park and youth sports is what makes partnerships like this so special. We are proud to feature the Fairplay logo on our new match kits and practice gear, and we are deeply grateful for their investment in our players and our club's future.
