The Problem

In today’s U.S. Football (soccer) landscape, many youth clubs face the same challenges: the pay-to-play model can be a barrier to entry, resources are often limited, and clubs find themselves competing rather than collaborating. Parents worry about costs, and players miss out on opportunities because of the fragmented system.

The VFN Solution

We unite local clubs under one supportive umbrella, offering shared resources, collaborative marketing, and a community-first approach. Our network transforms the experience from one of isolated competition to collective growth.

Member clubs are featured across VFN’s website, social media platforms, and events, giving them exposure beyond their immediate community. Being part of the VFN ecosystem signals credibility, professionalism, and a commitment to accessibility.
VFN supports clubs with fundraising strategy, sponsor outreach, and shared sponsor opportunities. This allows clubs to generate additional revenue without relying solely on player fees.
Instead of competing for the same limited resources, clubs in the network collaborate on events, player opportunities, and shared initiatives, strengthening the local soccer ecosystem as a whole.

Benefits for Parents

Parents benefit from reduced costs as clubs gain access to shared resources, fundraising support, and sponsor-backed initiatives that help offset traditional pay-to-play expenses.
