My son Aaron has been given an incredible opportunity to take his soccer journey to the next level. After starting with over 150 kids in his age group at the Arizona state ODP tryouts, Aaron worked hard and made it through several rounds of cuts. He was ultimately selected as one of the top 11 players in the state to represent Arizona at the Olympic Development Program (ODP) regional tryout in Utah. This is a huge honor, as Aaron will now compete with top players from other states for a chance to represent the West at the USYS ODP inter-regional event in Florida.

Aaron’s dedication to soccer is truly inspiring. He is the captain of his original club team and puts in extra personal training two to three times a week to improve his skills. Balancing school and soccer, he always gives his best and is determined to make the most of every opportunity. This regional tryout is a dream come true for him, and we want to do everything we can to support his journey.

We are reaching out to friends, family, and our community for help. The costs for travel, lodging, uniforms, and tryout expenses add up quickly. Any amount of support would mean the world to Aaron and our family, helping him chase his dream and represent Arizona on a bigger stage. Thank you so much for considering a donation and for cheering Aaron on as he takes this exciting next step.
