From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
San Fernando Valley Quakes are an American soccer team, founded in 2006. The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and plays in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference against teams from Bakersfield, Fresno, Glendora, La Mirada, Lancaster, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Ana and Ventura.
They play their home games at the John Elway Stadium (named after the legendary Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway) on the campus of Granada Hills High School in Granada Hills, California, a district of the city of Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley.
The team's original colours were red, black and white; however, after signing a major partnership deal with Real SoCal, one of Southern California's major youth soccer organizations, in early 2007, the team changed to a new color scheme of predominantly blue.
