Our team is Valencia CF (VFC) Academy Boys 2010/2011, based in Seattle directly partnered with Valencia CF, a club that competes in La Liga, the highest professional level in Spain. Each year, our Valencia CF Academy teams have the opportunity to travel to Valencia and work closely with the VCF Academy coaches for a week filled with high-intensity training, tests, friendlies, and team building. This is a unique opportunity that allows players to be trained and observed by high-level coaches. During our trip to Valencia, Spain, players also have a chance to grow their development and confidence, and the trip empowers them to be better players and people. Over the last 6 months, we have been raising money to build a need-based scholarship fund for a trip the team is taking to Spain in a few weeks.

We are hosting a Bake Sale table at the upcoming Arbor Heights Food Truck this coming Monday March 4th and would love to invite community members to support. This is our second time partnering with the food truck, the first was really successful and very fun for players – and we had loads of awesome treats for sale.

This training trip to Spain is a valuable and necessary stage in their growth as soccer players and people. We do not want any of our players to miss out, especially those faced with financial needs. It is our goal to provide full scholarships for those who need it and offset some expenses covered by families. The money we raise through this goes directly to travel needs which include:
Airfare & 9 nights in a hotel very close to our training facility (includes meals)
10 training sessions with the Valencia CF coaches & 1-2 friendly matches against local teams
Coordination and supervision by VCF staff for the entirety of the trip
Valencia CF training kits
Ground transportation by bus to and from hotel, training, and city events

If West Seattleites are not able to come out to get some baked treats from us on Monday, they can learn more by checking out our fundraising page linked here.
