The San Fernando Valley Chargers are led by an exceptional team that includes retired NFL player Dashon Goldson, a First-Team All-Pro Free Safety. With two Pro Bowl selections and appearances in Super Bowls XLVII and LI, Goldson exemplifies a commitment to empowering youth through sports.
 
Zab Judah, a Hall of Fame boxer and undisputed six-time world champion, is a co-founder of the Chargers, bringing a vision of mentorship and the transformative power of athletics to the organization.
 
The leadership is further enhanced by legendary former NFL player Reggie Bush, a Super Bowl champion with the New Orleans Saints and Heisman Trophy winner from USC. Renowned for his explosive speed, versatility, and ability to perform under pressure, Bush brings championship experience and elite football knowledge to the organization.
 
Also joining the leadership is Super Bowl champion TJ Ward, a former NFL Pro Bowl safety known for his physical style of play, defensive leadership, and championship mentality. Ward’s experience at the highest level of football adds another valuable perspective to the SFV Chargers’ commitment to developing disciplined, competitive, and well-rounded young athletes.
