About Ventura Football Network

Our Story

Ventura Football Network was founded by Cameron DeJong, a Ventura County coach and former professional player who experienced firsthand how many talented athletes are overlooked simply because they can’t afford the pay-to-play system.

After years coaching in the community and working with players from all backgrounds, one thing became clear: Football needed a new pathway, one rooted in accessibility, opportunity, and community.

VFN began as a single showcase event. Today, it has grown into one of the most meaningful and fast-growing football movements in the region.
