San Ramon,CA-  iSoccerPath, the leading education company in the US for assisting high school age soccer players to realize their dream of becoming college student athletes, donated $1000 to Jerry Smith’s Coaching For Life Academy Program.  The donation will go specifically through Coaching For Life Academy to the Power of Futbol, run by long time Bay Area coach Marco Santillan. 

The donation represents a $10 contribution for each of the 74 college coaches who sat on a panel this year for iSoccerPath’s event company, College Soccer Panels.  As well as the 18 youth soccer clubs in the Bay Area, So Cal, Arizona and Nevada who participated.

“We have been looking for the right company to align our youth foundation charitable arm of iSoccerPath for almost a year now,” said Jeff Jaye, director of iSoccerPath and College Soccer Panels.

“Working in various capacities with Coach Smith over the past few years, I have come to know him as one of the top honorable and character people not just in the soccer world but in life. This was our main goal, to find a program that was not only led by staff like Jerry and Marco who share our similar values, but also to get the opportunity to help at need youth develop the necessary life skills to be successful and have a brighter future.  We are more than honored to have Coaching For Life and the Power of Futbol as our 2016-17 donation partner.”

On behalf of our Coaching for Life Academy and the Power of Futbol, I would like to thank iSoccerPath and Jeff Jaye for this generous donation.” Jerry Smith stated “This money will be used to buy equipment for the Power of Futbol After School Program which is aimed at teaching life skills through soccer in many of our underserved locations in the Bay Area.
