California Sunshine
March 16, 2013
The California Sunshine were an Orange County-based club that played in the chaotic American Soccer League from 1977 until 1980. The ASL was the de facto 2nd division of American pro soccer in the latter half of the 1970’s. Southern California was an early hotbed of the youth soccer boom in the late 1970’s. The region was eagerly exploited by both the ASL and the more ambitious, bigger budgeted North American Soccer League.
