Neto's Fund - Financial Aid

Considered one of the best young Impact soccer players, Neto was well-respected by coaches and other players for his amazing soccer skills and his absolute passion on the field. He chose to spend his last years of his life playing soccer with his team rather than have debilitating cancer treatment with little hope of being cured. He was a much-beloved member of the team, our Club, and the Brentwood/Oakley soccer community. We continue Neto’s legacy of dedication to the sport by supporting financially disadvantaged youth in pursuit to excel at and love the game as he did.

Soccer can be an expensive sport to participate in, especially for families with multiple children playing and for those on competitive travel teams. The Impact Soccer Club has the Jose “Neto” Corona Financial Aid Program (Neto’s Fund) in place to help families in need meet the costs of playing soccer to honor the memory of Neto for his dedication to the sport and to our Club.

Assistance is available for youth players in all programs. Detailed qualification criteria is not published since they are guidelines. Final decisions on awards are made by the Board of Directors based on recommendations from the Neto's Fund Committee and availability of funds. We encourage all families who feel they need some assistance with soccer costs to apply.
