Mexican Professional Soccer Club Coming to Detroit for Training and Tryouts

Are you ready for some Fútbol?

The Queretaro FC soccer team from Mexico is coming to Southwest Detroit July 12-14 to try out players for their team in Mexico and to provide instruction for youths looking to put their best feet forward on and off the field.

The event is open to youths 12 to 18 years old and of all skill levels. Players will be grouped by age and skill level and receive individual instruction, chat with former players and get a chance to be seen not only by the team but scouts from area schools looking for talent.

“Soccer is an expensive sport,” organizer Anthony Bernal said. “It unfortunately leaves a behind a lot of kids.”

Bernal expects at least 70 youths to participate during the event at the Kemeny Recreation Center complex on Fort Street. Organizers are helping to defray costs with vouchers and event sponsorships.

“We are not selling false hopes, Bernal, 31 and of Farmington Hills, said. “The bar is high. We are giving opportunities to the kids to learn life skills. It is more than becoming a pro player.”

Workshops will emphasize the need to practice, stay out of trouble, attend classes and make good decisions, he said. The discipline needed to do well on the feed translates off the field in doing well in life, he said.

“Discipline on and off the field is necessary,” Bernal said. “In order to be successful in life, you need to have discipline.”

Nathan Romero particpated in the Gallos Blancos camp in 2023

Jesse Venegas’ family owns The Ideal Group in Southwest Detroit and is a sponsor of the event. He said he wanted to make sure the participants had access to instruction usually offered at expensive camps.

“All the big clubs do events, but always outside of Detroit and they are always expensive,” he said. “The goal is to get people who couldn’t afford it together with high level instructors.”

The organizers tried to get the event together last year but were not able to pull it off. Instead, they sent Nathan Romero, a student at Western International High School to Mexico for a week of individual training.

Romero, now 17 years old, said seeing other youths there doing their own laundry, making meals and embracing the ability to make their own decisions influenced him to follow suit.

“You have to be responsible for yourself,” he said. “You have to take charge of yourself. You are going to have eyes on you for your whole life. Make sure you are on top of things.”

For information about the event, visit www.gallosblancosdetroit.com. Early registration is offered at a 40 percent discount until May 31.

Querétaro Fútbol Club, also known as “Gallos Blancos de Querétaro”, is a professional Mexican soccer club based in the city of Querétaro, Mexico, founded on July 8, 1950. The Club currently contests the MX League, the country’s main soccer competition. Its colors are blue, black and white and the mascot is a rooster.

El equipo de fútbol de Los Gallos Blancos de Querétaro viene a Detroit.

¿Estás listo para el fútbol?

Querétaro FC viene desde México al suroeste de Detroit del 12 al 14 de julio para reclutar jugadores para su equipo y entrenar a los jóvenes que buscan dar lo mejor de sí dentro y fuera del campo.

El evento está abierto a jóvenes entre 12 y 18 años, de todos los niveles. Los jugadores se agruparán por edad y nivel de habilidad y recibirán instrucción individual, hablarán con ex jugadores y tendrán la oportunidad de ser vistos no solo por el equipo sino también por los cazatalentos de las escuelas del área que buscan talento.

“El fútbol es un deporte caro”, dijo el organizador Anthony Bernal. “Desafortunadamente, deja atrás a muchos niños”.

Bernal espera que al menos 70 jóvenes participen durante el evento en el complejo del Centro Recreativo Kemeny en Fort Street. Los organizadores ayudan a sufragar los costes con vales y patrocinio de eventos.

“No estamos vendiendo falsas esperanzas”, dijo Bernal, de 31 años de Farmington Hills. “Las expectativas son altas. Estamos brindando oportunidades a los niños para que aprendan habilidades para la vida. Es más que convertirse en un jugador profesional”.

Los talleres enfatizarán la necesidad de practicar, no meterse en problemas, asistir a clases y tomar buenas decisiones, dijo. La disciplina necesaria para tener un buen desempeño en la cancha se traduce fuera del campo en un buen desempeño en la vida, dijo.

“Es necesaria la disciplina dentro y fuera del campo”, dijo Bernal. “Para tener éxito en la vida, es necesario tener disciplina”.

Nathan Romero particpated in the Gallos Blancos camp in 2023

La familia de Jesse Venegas es propietaria de The Ideal Group en el suroeste de Detroit y es patrocinadora del evento. Dijo que quería asegurarse de que los participantes tuvieran acceso a la instrucción que normalmente se ofrece en campamentos costosos.

“Todos los grandes clubes organizan eventos, pero siempre fuera de Detroit y siempre son caros”, dijo. “El objetivo es reunir a personas que no pueden permitírselo, con instructores de alto nivel”.

Los organizadores intentaron hacerlo el año pasado, pero no pudieron llevarlo a cabo. En cambio, enviaron a Nathan Romero, un estudiante de Western International High School, a México por una semana de capacitación individual.

Romero, que ahora tiene 17 años, dijo que ver a otros jóvenes allí lavando su propia ropa, preparando su comida y abrazando la capacidad de tomar sus propias decisiones lo animó a hacer lo mismo.

“Tienes que ser responsable de ti mismo”, dijo. “Tienes que hacerte cargo. Vas a tener las miradas puestas en ti durante toda la vida. Asegúrate de estar al tanto de todo”.

Para obtener información sobre el evento, visite www.gallosblancosdetroit.com . La inscripción anticipada se ofrece con un descuento del 40 por ciento hasta el 31 de mayo.

Querétaro Fútbol Club, también conocido como ” Los Gallos Blancos de Querétaro”, es un club de fútbol mexicano profesional con sede en la ciudad de Querétaro, México, fundado el 8 de julio de 1950. El Club disputa actualmente la Liga MX, la principal competencia de fútbol del país. Sus colores son azul, blanco y negro y la mascota es un gallo.
