CONTENT Coming Soon
Built by Coach Lava, a Local Enfield Football Guy
Route 7 Elite was founded by Chris LaValla, known to players as Coach Lava.
Chris grew up in Enfield, played youth sports in Enfield, played high school football in Enfield, and later coached his daughter in youth soccer here.
Route 7 Elite was created to give local players a positive, structured football experience where they can build skills, confidence, teamwork, and football IQ.
The goal is simple: help players learn the game, have fun, and grow in an environment that takes development seriously without losing what makes youth sports great.
Future Travel Squads
Future Route 7 Elite travel squads are planned for players who want more competitive opportunities beyond clinics.
Exact details will be announced later this year. Families who are interested can join the interest list now to receive updates first.
