BSIS licensed officers for tournaments, league play and game days, covering parking, crowds and officials so your organisers can run the event.
Ask any tournament director what goes wrong and you will hear the same two answers. Parking, and a parent who will not let a call go. Neither sounds like a security problem until the lot overflows into a residential street at 7am, or an official walks off the field and your next three games have nobody to referee them.
We Guard Now provides sports and tournament security in Los Angeles for youth and club tournaments, school athletics, adult leagues and sports complexes. Our officers are BSIS licensed and selected for a calm, approachable manner, because almost everyone at your event is a family. They run parking and traffic flow, keep spectators on the right side of the touchline, support officials when conduct gets out of hand, and watch bags, gear and unattended equipment between games.
Whether you need two officers for a one day tournament or a team covering a multi field complex across a weekend, we can usually confirm coverage within 24 hours of your request.
Tell us the venue, field count and schedule. We will give you a written quote, usually the same day.
Our tournament security covers the whole event footprint, not just the gate. Most Los Angeles organisers start with parking and spectator coverage, then add gear and official protection as the event grows.
Officers direct arrivals, keep lanes clear for emergency access and stop overflow spilling into neighbouring streets, which is where most complaints to the facility come from.
A visible, friendly presence along touchlines and in stands, stepping in early when a spectator becomes abusive toward officials, coaches or other families.
Escorts for officials between fields and to their vehicles after contentious games, which is when most incidents involving referees occur.
Checking wristbands, passes and team credentials at entrances, and keeping non participants out of restricted areas.
Coverage of team benches, gear piles, vendor tables and registration areas, where bags are left unattended for hours.
Clearing access routes for paramedics, directing responders to the right field and supporting evacuation if weather or an incident requires it.
Protection for staging, vendor stock and equipment left on site between days of a multi day tournament.
Every tournament has its own layout and pressure points. Tell us the venue and schedule and we will build a staffing plan around them.
A tournament security officer spends most of the day being helpful and a small part of it being firm. The crowd is made up of families, so presence and friendliness do more work than authority.
On a typical event day, one of our Los Angeles tournament security officers will:
What a tournament officer must never do is turn a touchline argument into a confrontation in front of children. A quiet word at the first raised voice prevents nearly every incident that reaches a report.
Both look like sport on a Saturday. The crowd, the risks and the staffing are different enough to be worth separating before you book.
Comparison point | Youth and Club Tournaments | School and Adult League Events |
Crowd | Families, large spectator numbers per player | Students, supporters, fewer per player |
Main pressure point | Parking, spectator conduct toward officials | Entry control, rivalries, after game dispersal |
Site | Public parks and multi field complexes | School grounds, gyms and stadiums |
Officer style | Approachable, family facing | Visible, firm, campus appropriate |
Typical staffing | Parking, roving field coverage, officials escort | Entry points, stands, exits and parking |
Peak risk window | Mid morning arrivals and knockout games | Game end and dispersal |
Youth and club tournaments need officers who can manage arrivals and parking early, then stay visible and approachable along touchlines, stepping in before conduct escalates.
School and adult league events need firmer entry control, coverage of stands and a plan for dispersal, when rivalries and crowding cause most incidents.
For one off public events, festivals and non sporting gatherings, our event security page covers the wider planning. For ticketed shows inside permanent venues, see our entertainment venue page.

Long event days with equipment and vendor areas across several diamonds.

We provide sports and tournament security across Los Angeles County, including:
Tournament staffing stands or falls on everyone arriving before the first whistle. If you are comparing security companies in Los Angeles, ask how they guarantee full staffing at 6am on a Saturday and what happens if an officer calls out.
We staff from the surrounding area wherever possible, which keeps early starts reliable and means officers know the parking pressure points around your venue before the first car arrives.
Do not see your neighborhood? We cover all of Los Angeles County. Call +1 714-760-5385 and ask.
We select for approachable and calm. A heavy handed officer at a youth tournament creates the incident you hired them to prevent.
We treat parking and traffic as a core part of the job, because it is the most common complaint facilities receive about tournaments.
Escorts and early intervention when conduct turns on referees, so your schedule does not collapse mid day.
Plans built around how many fields are live at once, rather than a flat number of officers.
Every officer holds a current BSIS guard card, verified before assignment. We operate under PPO # 121614 with general liability and workers compensation coverage.
Officers on site before gates open, every day of the event.
We do not publish a single hourly figure. A one day tournament on two fields and a three day complex wide event are very different assignments. Here is what moves the rate.
Driven mostly by how many fields run at once, plus parking and entrance coverage.
Multi day events price better per hour than single days, because scheduling is easier.
Shared lots, street parking and overflow risk may need dedicated parking officers.
Early starts, late finishes, weekends and holidays carry a premium.
Protecting equipment, staging and vendor stock between days adds an overnight post.
Planned events cost less to staff than last minute bookings.
What we do commit to: one flat hourly rate quoted in writing before you sign, no administrative add ons, and no charge for the planning conversation. If a quote for a multi field event looks unusually low, check how many officers will actually be on site when every field is running at once.
Call +1 714-760-5385 or request a quote online. We review the venue, field count, schedule and expected attendance, and recommend staffing.
You receive a plan showing officer positions and timings, plus a flat hourly rate.
We brief the team on your layout and your conduct policy, and officers arrive before gates open.
No long term contract is required. Whether you run one tournament a year or a full season of weekends, both are fine, and repeat events get the same officers wherever possible.
Parking and traffic control, entry and credential checks, spectator conduct management along touchlines, protection and escorts for officials, coverage of gear and vendor areas, medical access support and incident reporting.
It depends mostly on how many fields run at once, plus your parking situation and expected attendance. A two field one day event may need two officers, while a multi field weekend complex may need six or more. We will recommend honestly rather than overstaffing.
