High Desert Elite

The 2020 National Premier Soccer League season is officially cancelled. We are coordinating with other clubs in considering alternative plans to compete when United States Adult Soccer Association, CDC Global and local authorities lift the ban caused by COVID-19. https://bit.ly/2xs4Twa

Our first National Premier Soccer League home game is 7 pm, Saturday, March 7 at Adelanto Stadium & Event Center. No HD Elite game this weekend. Instead, this Saturday, February 22, please support the High Desert high school soccer programs competing at home in CIF Southern Section semi finals. Hesperia High School Boys are at 5 pm, Oak Hills High School Girls are at 3 pm, Boys are at 5 pm. Please show your support.

High Desert lands a 4-1 victory over NPSL rival Oxnard Guerreros, marking the end of the 2020 preseason. Knocking in the HD Elite goals and delivering the assists were Jose Rodas from Marcus Aragon, Brett Croft from Jose Rodas, Daniel Thor Baumgartner from Jose Rodas, and Marcus Aragon from Carlos Cruz. Kudos to HD Elite GK Matthew Garcia for the good read, nearly stopping another PK. Goal of the game goes to Aragon, smacking one into to the top right from a good distance o...utside the 18. After the red card of HD Right Back Andy Ramirez, High Desert still managed to score two goals with just 10 men on the field. Oxnard earned a red card later in the game. HD Elite returns to its winning ways after suffering a 2-1 home loss last weekend versus UPSL's USA Soccer Stars. Thanks to all the fans who continue to support us. Your cheers and jeers from the grandstands are incredibly important to the growth of the game and shaping future professional opportunities for our players. See more

Here's a quick clip of HD Elite Shot Blocker Matthew Garcia, earning a great save from a PK during today's 5-1 victory over Santa Clarita Storm. He's got quick hands and a good read on the shooter as well as the game. Thanks to HD Elite GK Coach Mark Coombs for his handy work in training excellence.

Great thanks to those fans who showed up and supported. You were loud. You inspired the boys to a next level performance. Together, we nearly won it. In the end, we tied 2-2 versus a strong, fast and sharp LA Force squad. Christian Gonzalez led the scoring from an Adrian Represas assist, earning a 1-0 HD Elite lead early in the second half. Daniel "Thor" Baumgartner knocked in the second goal from Brett Croft's assist, delivering a 2-1 lead. But Force struck back in the last minutes of the match, earning a tie. Huge kudos to HD's GK Pedrito Zequeida for the phenomenal saves on the night. The entire squad stepped up in many ways. Much love. Much culture. Family.

Christian Gonzalez smashes one into the back of the net, putting High Desert Elite in the lead in the 50th minute against LA Force. HD's Adrian Represas delivered the assist.

Passion. Grit. Artistry. And the beautiful game. High Desert Elite (NPSL) faces LA Force (NISA) this Saturday at 6 p.m. in Hesperia. It's community taco night at Hesperia High School.

HD Elite 2020! Another win for the boys.

High Desert ELITE finished the night with a 4-1 victory over Inland Empire FC. Daniel "Thor" Baumgartner struck first with his only goal of the night, retaining his title as the club's leading goal scorer with four on the books. He then gifted Brett Croft a cross, which resulted in Croft's first of three goals on the night, earning the club's second consecutive hat trick in as many games in the 2020 preseason buildup. Thanks to the lively High Desert community who braved the cold to deliver roaring support for a great display of artistry.

Join us tomorrow night for a 6pm kickoff. Free admission. Bring your family, friends and neighbors to Hesperia High School Stadium for another preseason showdown. Tag a fiend. Share. Be there.
