Sacramento Republic FC News Release


Republic FC's Academy provides an unmatched development opportunity for elite youth soccer players. With a proven track record of helping players rise to college and the pros, elite players from around the region and the country are excited about the prospect of joining the area's only club that can provide development opportunities with a direct path to professional soccer. To meet the needs of young players who want to grow their skills sets with Republic FC - who may live beyond Sacramento, the Academy is looking for Residential Host families to join the club.

Through the Residential Program, Academy players are paired with families in the region to help support their journey to the next levels of soccer. Residential hosts support elite youth players with housing, transportation, and more, helping academy players access top-flight training and development support.

"Having a residential program is paramount to our Academy's growth for the future," Republic FC Academy Director Dennis Sanchez said. "We fully recognize the rich talent within our area and must provide players of all backgrounds the ability to live full-time in Sacramento and achieve their potential. This is a wonderful opportunity to support an aspiring athlete and have a positive role model around your family. It takes a Republic help them to achieve their dreams."

With volunteer hosts, the Indomitable Club works to provide a collaborative support system that allows each player to achieve a high level of personal, athletic, and academic success - something that may not be readily accessible outside of the region.

With the 2021-22 academy teams forming, Residential Hosts are needed to help support the development of Republic FC's next generation of talent. Hosting a young player can be an incredible rewarding experience and opportunity to support a student of the game on their quest to become great. Not only are Residential Hosts essential in helping players develop, they become intertwined with the Republic FC family - building a deeper connection to the club.

"We chose to be a host family to help an aspiring athlete," said Jay Montero, the father of U14 Academy player Jackson Montero and host of U19 Academy player Julian Lomeli. "Julian has been a great role model for our two-sons and has quickly become part of our family. This experience has been more rewarding than we could have possibly ever imagine. It is evident that Sacramento Republic doesn't just choose great athletes, but people with high character."

Host applications are open now, and each applicant will go through an extensive background check prior to officially moving any player into a new home. Learn more about the program at SacRepublicFC.com/residentialprogram.
