About Us
Who We Are
Est. Las Vegas, 1989
The Players Soccer Club was established in 1989 by former professional player Saeed Bonabian (under the name Neusport-Tabagators Soccer Club). Saeed Bonabian started the club with just two girls' teams with the first game playing on March 21, 1989.
The vision was to create a club culture and an environment that would allow players in the Las Vegas area to pursue their dreams to the highest level, culminating into playing in collegiate level or professionally.
How We Grew
A National Leader
The club philosophy was to develop players with superior technical skills and clear understanding of the game while cultivating creativity and joy of the competition. The vision included attracting coaches with playing experience at collegiate or professional levels.
Through the clear vision and strong leadership of Saeed Bonabian, Players Soccer Club has grown to over 1000 players and 70 teams in Southern Nevada earning national recognition as one of the country's leading development clubs.
Tournament
College Showcase Tournament
In the year 2000, a College Showcase event was founded by Saeed Bonabian, the first of its kind where High School age teams played in a Showcase Format. The Players College Showcase Tournament has become one of the nation's most respected youth soccer events.
The tournament has benefitted the players in Nevada and across the nation offering great exposure to collegiate and youth national team coaches. The tournament had a huge impact in making Las Vegas one of the most attractive tournament destinations.
Values
Our Philosophy
The club's stability is a product of the positive atmosphere of trust and teamwork among coaches, players and parents since 1989. The club loyalty among players and thousands of alumni is unparalleled, with many former players now coaching in collegiate programs.
As our history has illustrated, the club's vision is being realized since 1989 through our players' success on the soccer fields, in the classrooms, and as leaders of communities across the nation. The future continues to be bright as the club remains on the cutting edge of today's game.
