Fuego to Partner with Six Local Youth Soccer Clubs
FRESNO – The Fresno Fuego will partner with six local youth soccer clubs starting in 2013 to create an identification system that will help develop local youths into future Fuego team members.
This collaboration will allow the Fuego staff to directly identify local players within these clubs, working toward achieving the Fuego vision of providing a team of Central San Joaquin Valley talent. The six local clubs include Argentina Fresno Soccer Club, Bullard United Soccer Club, California Odyssey Soccer Club, California Odyssey South Soccer Club, Central California Soccer Alliance and South Valley Chivas.
“We are excited to take this new step in uniting different youth soccer clubs from the Central Valley and working together,” said Jeremy Schultz, general manager of the Fresno Fuego. “While each club provides a slightly different approach in their development model, we all have the common goal of constant age appropriate training principles and are eager to instill knowledge of the game to our young players. The directors within our affiliate clubs recognize the incredible growth of the sport in our country and understand the importance of the Fresno Fuego in our community. The Fuego will support each level of development within each club, maintaining our overall vision of creating an avenue to maximize our local player’s opportunity and exposure for advancement in the game.”
For each of the six youth soccer clubs, the Fuego will serve as the highest level in the Central Valley that each athlete will strive to reach. The system will help the Fuego identify elite athletes around the Valley that can play for the Fuego in the future.
