Louisiana Elite
About the Club
Louisiana Elite Soccer Program (LESP) is a premier youth soccer organization operating across Louisiana, drawing top players from key regions including Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and New Orleans. The club was established by the Baton Rouge Soccer Association (BRSC) leadership, building upon the foundation of the LATDP Elite program which began competing in MLS NEXT following a successful 2021 season. LESP is dedicated to developing U13-U19 players through elite training, high-level competition, and significant exposure to college and professional pathways. The club distinguishes itself by providing a proven platform for players to gain national recognition and secure college commitments. Louisiana Elite competes in top-tier national leagues, with its boys' teams participating in MLS NEXT Tier 2 (South Conference) and its girls' teams in the Girls Academy (Frontier League). The program also ensures players showcase their talents at premier events such as MLS NEXT Fest and GA National Showcases.
