Darwin's AYSO All-Star soccer team is going to Nationals! The purpose of All-Stars is to provide players that have demonstrated superior skills, effort, attitude, team play, and commitment, the opportunity to continue to develop their skills in a more competitive environment. Darwin's All-Star team has been invited to participate in the 2025 AYSO National Games where hundreds of teams from around the country will converge in Irvine, CA for a week of competitive soccer fun, July 21 - 27.

To raise money to help cover the cost of travel, lodging, food, uniforms, tournament, and ref fees, Ventura's AYSO All-Star team will be holding a Shoot-a-thon on July 13th. Players will be aiming to make 100 shots each! If you would like to support Darwin's soccer journey to Nationals, please consider sponsoring her at next week's Shoot-a-thon. Players will take 100 shots. You can make a flat donation or pledge a dollar amount for every shot that she makes. Please message me with your pledge amount and contact information. Payment can be made through this GoFundMe page, in cash, by check, Venmo, or Zelle. All donations will go directly to cover Darwin's costs.

If you or your business would prefer to make a tax-deductible donation to sponsor her entire team, please send a check payable to AYSO REGION 39 to 1802 Eastman Avenue, Suite 113, Ventura, CA 93003. Be sure to designate your donation for Coach Jim & John's National All-Star Team. Contact me for more information.

Thank you so much for your continued support! We love you!
