Dear Sponsor,

We would appreciate your time in reviewing this letter and your consideration for supporting our youth soccer development program.

TAHUICHI comes from the Bolivian dialect Quechua. It means “Bird That Flies High”.

Tahuichi F.C. is a non-profit program, run by dedicated volunteers, with the purpose of providing kids with top quality soccer training and personal skill development while reinforcing that school and good grades come first. We help kids develop the needed skills to ensure that they are successful student athletes.

Founded in September 2007, Tahuichi F.C. has enjoyed great success in developing players of all abilities. Our success in the men's league has inspired us to share the values of our club with younger players. We recognize the utmost importance of their primary roles as students and have always maintained academic requirements of our youth teams. We wish to instill a sense of pride in our youth players in both their growing soccer skills, as well as their high academic achievements. Our number one priority for the players of our club is to see that they achieve and maintain high grades in school.

We feel that athletics and academics go hand in hand, and that the dedication they show on the field must be mirrored in their schoolwork. EDUCATION is a tool that they will carry with them far beyond their years as soccer players, although we do hope to see their love of the game be a lifelong affair.

Our staff are volunteer coaches with licenses from National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and U.S. Soccer Federation. We are a sanctioned club by U.S. Club Soccer #6526 and NorCal Premier Soccer League.

We work with children, ages 2 to 19. We offer the opportunity to be part of a serious, committed, and competitive club without the monthly or coaching fees. We encourage, motivate and support our players, both on and off the field. It is through the generosity and cooperation of our sponsors in the form of both monetary and in-kind donations, reduce field rental fees, that help us provide top quality soccer training to our kids at a high competitive level at a fraction of the cost of any of our private clubs in Sonoma County.

As a club, we also recognize the financial difficulties that many families face. We do not wish to see any child denied the opportunity to practice and play this amazing game due to their family's financial situation. Therefore, TAHUICHI F.C. works closely with our sponsors to see that no child is turned away from this club. Thank you for your consideration. Tahuichi F.C. Youth Soccer Program’s success depends on the generosity of donors

and volunteers. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at futbol@fctahuichi.com or directly at 707-695-3323. Please visit our website at www.fctahuichi.com.

Very Truly Yours,

Jose Espinoza, Director

Our success in the men's league has inspired us to share the values of our club with younger players, and that is how we have come to establish the U-8 , U-10, U-12 Boys and Girls teams. They played indoor soccer at Sports City in Santa Rosa and outdoor play with Santa Rosa Youth Soccer League (recreational) and Santa Rosa South (competitive). For the younger players, we recognize the utmost importance of their primary roles as students and have always maintained academic require-ments of our youth teams. We wish to instill a sense of pride in our youth players in both their growing soccer skills, as well as their high aca-demic achievements.

“Our number one priority for our players is to see that they achieve and maintain high grades in school.” OUR OBJECTIVE The TAHUICHI F.C. Youth Soccer Development Program, in cooperation with our sponsors, will provide top quality soccer training and personal skill development while reinforcing that school and good grades come first for our soccer players.
