Lenny Halpern Commits to Santa Barbara City College After VFN Showcase

April 29, 2025 – Ventura, CA

We’re proud to announce that Lenny Halpern, a standout from our recent VFN Showcase, has officially committed to Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) to continue his football journey at the collegiate level.

Lenny took the field during our featured match on April 26, representing the VFN Squad against the KickaballPod JUCO Select Team. His performance stood out — not just to those in the stadium, but to coaches watching virtually via our Hudl livestream, including members of the SBCC staff who were actively scouting players for their upcoming season.

Pathway in Action

Lenny’s commitment is a perfect example of how the Ventura Football Network creates real, tangible opportunities for players.
Through free, high-quality showcases and digital exposure tools like Hudl, we’re making sure players can be seen — even when coaches can’t attend in person.

Currently competing in the UPSL Premier Division with Sporting FC, Lenny has consistently shown the drive, discipline, and ability to succeed at the next level. His commitment to SBCC is the next step in a journey we’re proud to support.

Well Done, Lenny

We’re excited to watch Lenny take this next step, and we’re proud that VFN could play a role in helping him get there.
This is what the movement is all about — removing barriers, increasing access, and helping players chase what’s possible.

Congratulations, Lenny.
We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.
