FRYSC Presidents

Case Leenheer, organizer of the Fullerton Rangers men’s team in 1963, was the first Club President. In 1966 the Fullerton Rangers added its first youth team. In 1972 the number of youth teams doubled from 2 to 4 and began growing tremendously. As a result, in 1975 the Fullerton Rangers created the Youth Board to organize the growing population of youth players. Larry Gillette was the first president of the newly formed Fullerton Rangers Youth Board. By 1978 there were 1700 players on 120 teams. The Club has had generally 1400-2000 registered players annually since that time. Here is the list of Presidents over the years since the youth teams were added:
