We're Building Pathways Where None Existed Before

Right now, there are talented players sitting on the sidelines—not because they lack skill, but because they can’t afford the fees. Your donation changes that. Every dollar removes a barrier. Every gift opens a door.

100% of scholarship donations fund players directly.

What Our Players Are Saying

Concord NH (U11)

“Thank you for letting me come to Valeo. It’s going to help me learn soccer better. It’s also going to help me focus in school. I’m lucky to be at this great soccer club and on the team. I really like Corlton, and thank you to all the coaches. I like the kids that play on my team too; they’re all very very good.”

Concord NH (U13)

“I want to thank Corlton and everyone at Valeo for letting me come in and all being kind to me and treating me like family. I also want to thank Corlton for the rides to practice. I don’t know what I would do without you. Thank you. I really appreciate the opportunity you guys are giving me.”

Concord NH (U12)

“I am so grateful I get to be in such a great club. I can’t believe I got to this point, and I can’t explain how happy I am to be in this soccer club. I never thought I would be able to get a scholarship like this, but I’m so thankful Coach Corlton and Valeo gifted me one. This means so much to me. I love soccer so much, and I’ve always wanted to play for a great club.”

Why Your Donation Matters

Soccer Shouldn’t Cost a Dream

Club fees, uniforms, travel, equipment—expenses add up fast. For families in under-served communities, these costs are impossible barriers that keep talented kids from ever stepping onto a competitive field.

But here’s what we know: talent exists everywhere. Opportunity doesn’t.

Your donation to the Valeo Foundation doesn’t just pay for soccer. It pays for:

A scholarship that lets a single mom afford her son's team fees
Uniforms and gear for an entire team in Jamaica
A week of camp that becomes a kid's turning point
Leadership training that shapes tomorrow's citizens
Academic support that keeps players on track for college

We’re not just building better players. We’re building better futures.
