The Juventus Strikers 90 U16 Boys team won the U.S. Club Soccer 2007 National Cup VI Region H championships in Modesto on June 19 after a weekend of hard-fought matches, including a win in the semifinals due to penalty kicks in overtime.
The boys have now earned a trip to the 2007 National Cup VI Finals in July in North Carolina, where they will meet the winners of the seven other regional championships held across the U.S.
The team is made up of players from various ethnic and economic backgrounds. Several of the boys attend Menlo-Atherton High School, Woodside High School and Sequoia High School. All aspire to play Division I college soccer.
Many of the boys will be the first in their family to attend college. Over 250 college coaches will be in attendance at the finals.
The cost of the trip is beyond the means for many of the players and they have fewer than four weeks to raise funds. The Juventus Sport Club, a nonprofit based out of Redwood City, is looking for sponsors. E-mail bethjimison@yahoo.com for sponsor information.
The players are Adam Brownstein, Nicholas Carrara, Juan Espinoza, Leonel Gutierez, Brady Jimison, Cole Kelly, Josh Leandro, Kian Malek, Ignacio Martinez, Ulysis Milanes, Alfonso Molina, Cesar Molina, Jose Nava, Carlos Ramirez, Jesus Resendiz, Julian Soto, Christian Valdez, Neil Watters and Oscar Yniguez.
Coaches are Jaime Frias, Apolonio Perez and John Carrara.
