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.[2] The club would not have a home field for the 2020 season, 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 season was cancelled[4] and the start of the 2021 season has been suspended, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
