Hi Family and Friends,

We’re excited to share that Jamie has been invited to play in MADCUP 2026 in Madrid, Spain with her Napa United U14 Pre-GA team! MADCUP is more than an international soccer tournament, it’s an educational event that brings together sport, culture, travel, health, and teamwork. It focuses on teaching values like respect, empathy, effort, and cooperation while giving players a chance to compete at an incredible level.

Soccer has shaped so much of who Jamie is. It’s where she found confidence, courage, and friendships that feel like family. It’s taught her discipline, teamwork, and what it means to show up and give her best every single day. The field is her happy place, a space where she feels strong, supported, and proud of how far she’s come.

Now she has the opportunity to take everything she’s learned and play on a world stage, representing her team and competing with players from around the globe. We couldn’t be more proud of her hard work and dedication.

Of course, a trip like this comes with big expenses. Jamie is humbly asking for your support to help make this dream come true. Every dollar will go directly toward travel, transportation, tournament fees, and lodging.

Her goal is to raise $2,500, and truly no amount is too small. Every contribution brings her one step closer to stepping onto that field in Madrid.

A note from Jamie:

“I would love to go to Spain because it’s an amazing opportunity for me and other soccer players. Going on this trip will help me get better at soccer, improve my fitness, and learn more responsibilities since my parents will not be staying with me. Spain is a great place to play because there are a lot of really good teams there, and I want to challenge myself.

I’ve also always wanted to visit Spain because it seems like such a cool and beautiful place. Plus, this trip would help my team bond and get to know each other even better. I think it would be an awesome experience for all of us!”

If you’re not able to donate, sharing this with friends, family, or on social media would mean so much. Your support, in any form, makes a real difference.

Thank you for cheering Jamie on. We’re so grateful for all the love and encouragement! ❤️⚽

With love,

The Ballines Family
