The Aztecas Youth Soccer Club and Santa Cruz County Probation will celebrate the grand opening of the club’s new clubhouse with a community barbecue and open house on July 28 in Watsonville.
The event will run from noon-1:30pm at 200 Prospect St. and is open to the public.
Guests will have the opportunity to tour the new facility, meet Aztecas youth players and hear from participants about the role the program has played in their lives.
Probation Chief Sandra Mendez said the clubhouse is intended to be more than a meeting place for the soccer club.
“The new clubhouse represents more than a building—it is a place where young people can grow as athletes, students and leaders,” Mendez said. “We’re excited to celebrate this milestone with the community that has supported Aztecas every step of the way.”
The Aztecas Youth Soccer Club emphasizes character development, teamwork and leadership in addition to soccer skills. According to organizers, the clubhouse will provide a central gathering place for players, coaches, families and volunteers while supporting the club’s youth programs and community partnerships.
The grand opening celebration will include food, tours of the facility and opportunities for community members to learn more about the organization’s work with local youth.
