The Sacramento Republic FC Residential Program offers high-potential players across the Sacramento Region and United States the opportunity to live in Sacramento and play with our Academy. These players have been identified through our scouting network as individuals who can maximize their development by joining our Academy and living in Sacramento on a full-time basis with host families.
Host Family Experience
Our Residential Program is made possible when a local family accommodates the housing and transportation needs of a player who resides outside of Sacramento. We focus on matching players with safe, caring, and healthy families within Sacramento who will contribute in meaningful ways to the development of the player. Our objective is to provide a collaborative support system that allows each player to achieve a high level of personal, athletic, and academic success.
Opening your home to highly motivated soccer player can provide a unique experience and wonderful opportunity to help a young athlete achieve his dreams. Your family will play an integral role in helping him further develop as a person and Republic FC soccer player. This opportunity will allow each family to feel a deeper connection to our club, as well as having a positive role model and steward in our community.
