About US

The Loudoun ’97 Black (formerly Loudoun Hurricane) was formed in the Summer of 2006 as a travel soccer team representing the Loudoun Soccer Club.  The girls are skilled players who are dedicated to soccer and to the friendships they enjoy with one another.  The team hopes to make a strong showing in our second season in the Washington Area Girls Soccer league (WAGS) this fall and plans to continue our play with winter sessions at the Dulles Sportsplex.
