History

Their introduction made them the first West Coast-based team in the league since 2005, when the California Sunbirds left the league.[2] The club plans to prioritize West coach players in their roster. On November 17, 2019, Kirk Walker was named head coach and assistant general manager of the team.[2] The team would not have a home field for the 2020 season, and instead would play games throughout the state, although their main team base would be in Los Angeles.[3]

However, their debut has been delayed indefinitely as the 2020 and 2021 seasons were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5]
