Colombia Futsal Immersion Trip
Donation protected
This summer, three of our children have the opportunity to travel to Medellin, Colombia for a three week futsal immersion trip. The trip is being organized by Barefoot Futsal Academy , where our children have received futsal training for the past 2+ years. This trip will allow the players to train side by side several school and club teams in Medellin, attend professional futsal and soccer matches, and become immersed in the culture.
While this is a great opportunity to take their futsal training to the next level and experience a new culture, we don't have the financial resources to make this a reality. My wife, Venceta, and I have 6 children; Melani (20), Alonzo (13), Lauren (12), Roman (10), Vincent (dec. 2008) & Anakin (2).
Venceta homeschools our children, while I am employed as an Engineer to financially support our family.
Alonzo is the oldest of our three looking forward to traveling to Colombia this summer. He has been playing soccer for ~8 years, the last 3 competitively with Discoveries Soccer Club . Since beginning futsal training, his confidence and skill on the ball has drastically improved.
Lauren begin playing soccer at the same time as her older brother and spent her first two competitive years playing on boys' teams. In her 3 years with DSC, she has played on the clubs top team playing at both goalkeeper and forward. Her futsal training has has been recognized by her coaches to have provided her with superior skill on the ball and afforded her an invitation to the SouthEast Region US Youth Futsal ID Camp in February. Unfortunately she was sidelined for all of Febraury and March with a knee injury and was unable to attend.
Roman, the youngest of the three, began playing soccer about the time he could walk. Wanting to do what is older siblings were doing, he played on his first organized team at 3 years old. Although he just turned 10, he has also played 3 years competitively with DSC. His passion and skill has been recognized by his and opposing coaches constantly. He too was invited to the Region Futsal ID camp and was selected to the Southeast Regional Futsal team.
I appreciate any support that you can provide to help make this trip a reality for our passionate young players. Thank you.
