The U14 Iowa United Navy Select Team is a dedicated group of young soccer players from across the Des Moines metro area and they were recently invited to play in a select tournament in Spain.

As their coach, I’ve seen firsthand how hard these kids work on and off the field, showing up to every practice and game with determination and heart. Our team is made up of players from diverse backgrounds, many of whom will not be able to make this incredible journey with the team, without the generosity of individuals like yourself.

We’re raising funds to help cover travel fees and tournament entry fees so that every player has the chance to compete at a higher level and experience the excitement of tournament play. Your support will help ensure that no child is left behind due to financial barriers, and that each player can proudly represent our community on the field. Every dollar raised will go directly toward making soccer accessible for all our athletes, giving them the opportunity to grow, learn, and achieve their goals.

This is a great opportunity to help these kids accomplish what they have worked so hard for and truly earned. We’re grateful for any support you can give—together, we can make a real difference in the lives of these young athletes.
