Real So Cal White BU10 Looking to Add Several Players
Real So Cal White has already had an incredibly successful fall season, and established itself as one of the most competitive BU10 teams in California. We have talented players, a great group of families, outstanding training from an ODP coach, and the backing of one of the strongest clubs in the country.
