The Unique Heartbeat of Ventura County Soccer

The Special Bond Between VC Oaks and VCFC

In the vibrant landscape of Ventura County soccer, a truly unique and powerful connection exists between VC Oaks and Ventura County FC (VCFC) – a bond forged in shared vision and driven by a singular, passionate leader: Mark Noorzai. This isn't just a typical affiliation; it's a deeply rooted synergy you won't find anywhere else in the region.

The story begins with Mark Noorzai, the founder and unwavering president of VCFC. His deep commitment to local talent and his aspiration to create a genuine pathway to professional soccer for Ventura County youth sparked an ambitious initiative. He envisioned a club that could offer a highly competitive environment without the prohibitive costs often associated with elite player development. This vision materialized as VC Oaks.

Born from the desire to elevate the competitiveness of Ventura County soccer, particularly building upon the strong foundations of Conejo Valley United (CVU) and Oaks FC, VC Oaks was strategically designed to unite top-tier teams from across western Ventura County under a cohesive academy structure. The aim was clear: to consolidate talent and provide the region with its strongest possible representation in prestigious leagues like MLS Next, Elite Academy (EA), Development Player League (DPL), and SOCAL Soccer League.

The tangible fruits of this special bond are already evident. The established partnership between VCFC and the LA Galaxy has extended its reach to VC Oaks players, creating invaluable trial opportunities within a professional setup. This direct connection underscores the commitment to providing a genuine pathway for local youth to reach the highest levels of the game.

Looking ahead, this unique relationship will continue to be a cornerstone of Ventura County soccer. This shared bond ensures that both VC Oaks and VCFC remain deeply invested in the development of local talent, offering competitive opportunities that are accessible to families, with player growth always at the forefront of their non-profit missions.
