Remembering Jassad: Honoring a Life Cut Short by a Tragic Accident
Letics Sports Football Club
Welcome to Letics Sports Football Club! At Letics FC, our mission is to provide services and support to communities in Tijuana, creating opportunities for a better future for youth and their families. We believe in the transformative power of soccer, and we are dedicated to empowering individuals to follow their passion and serve their communities beyond expectations. By offering a positive alternative to the prevalent drugs and violence in their neighborhoods, we aim to steer the youth toward personal growth and community development.

We understand that the challenges faced by the youth in these communities can be daunting. That's why we go beyond regular soccer activities and engage in various peace projects and medical service brigades. Our dedicated coaches and young athletes work together to create a better life for themselves and their communities. Through Letics FC, we provide comprehensive support, including player insurance, tournament fees, transportation, college tuition, housing, food, medical services, and a nurturing environment that allows these kids to attend school, live in peace and safety, and excel in soccer.

Behind the Letics Sports Football Club is a visionary leader, Ulises Romero Melchor. Ulises has devoted his life to the development of soccer and using the sport to prepare young men and women for life's challenges. After playing professional soccer for eight years with Atlas in Guadalajara, Ulises and his wife Xochilt decided to make a difference. In the fall of 2014, they partnered with The Bridge to provide free soccer clinics and practices for young boys and girls in Terrazas del Valle, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Since then, Ulises has expanded his efforts, and Letics FC now has over 10 teams of all ages playing soccer and changing their community.

At Letics FC, we firmly believe that every child deserves a chance to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. We are committed to creating a supportive environment that encourages personal and academic growth, while also nurturing a deep love for soccer. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to instill values such as teamwork, discipline, perseverance, and respect, which will serve our young athletes well beyond the soccer field.
We invite you to join us on this inspiring journey of transforming lives through soccer. Together, we can make a difference, empower our youth, and build a brighter future for the communities we serve.
