The El Centro Spartans 10-and-under team has officially advanced to the American Youth Football (AYF) National Championship in Florida. The Spartans finished their regular season undefeated at 10–0, winning the Conference Championship league play in the AYF organization. Their success continued in Solano County, where they faced the 10U Oakland Dynamites in the Regional Championship in Northern California and earned a hard-fought 7–0 victory.

This season, the Spartans have allowed only one touchdown — an extraordinary achievement that speaks to the team’s discipline, grit, and commitment.

As these players prepare to represent the Imperial Valley on the national stage, we are seeking support from our local community. Travel expenses, lodging, and airfare represent a significant challenge for many of the families. To help alleviate this burden, the team is asking for sponsorships and community support.

Any assistance you can provide in sharing this story with the community would be greatly appreciated. These young athletes have worked tirelessly and would be honored to know their hometown is behind them as they pursue a national title.
