Visalia youth-based club partners with regional pediatric healthcare provider VISALIA - South Valley United Soccer Club (SVU) is proud to announce the club has reached a partnership with Valley Children’s Healthcare, the San Joaquin Valley’s preeminent pediatric healthcare provider.

“We look forward to a wonderful partnership with Valley Children’s, as we continue to build upon the foundation of South Valley United,” stated SVU President Jeremy Schultz. “We are so excited about the future through being a community partner and brand ambassador for a network that does such amazing work in our region. We believe that this partnership can have such amazing synergy as we share a common mission to make a positive difference in the lives of the youth in our community.” 

“Kids who are active have a decreased risk of developing health problems, like obesity and diabetes, and benefit emotionally from physical activity,” says Lynne Ashbeck, Valley Children’s Senior Vice President of Community Engagement and Population Wellness. “We know that it is important for children to have opportunities to play and exercise. Valley Children’s is proud to sponsor South Valley United and we look forward to encouraging more children to get out there and have fun.”
