[3][4] Oxnard Guerreros FC (OGFC) is primarily geared toward local athletes making the jump from development and amateur clubs to professional soccer.

OGFC had their best NPSL Season to date and joined the top flight of the UPSL's Southwest Conference - Qualifying for Playoffs on the first attempt.

Paulo Monlleo and Julio Cesar Gomez De La Torre were replaced by Ross Greaney after a dismal Inaugural season in the NPSL finishing second to last.

[citation needed] Florez struck out on his own at 18, leaving his home country of Colombia to pursue a shot at American collegiate sports.

He capitalized on a chance at Cal State University Northridge, where he led the Matadors to the NCAA Tournament finals as a starting midfielder, then went on to play for two professional Colombian teams, Millonarios and América de Cali.
