From coffee or tea preferences to matchday routine, this week get to know midfielder Max Alvarez and forward Christian Chaney.

1. Why did you choose to go to Sac State, other than to play soccer?

Little bit how to do with how close it was to home because I’m really close to my family so it was really close for them to commute. Also I know their business program was really good so that kind of led to the decision of me going there.

2. Coffee or tea?

Depends on the day. If its late in the day I’ll have a tea but to start off my day I’ll have coffee. I take black.

3. What’s your favorite TV show?

Right now it is Are You the One on MTV. It’s getting pretty heated so it’s cool.

4. What was your worst first date?

I honestly never had a bad first date.

5. If you could play a different professional sport what would it be?

Probably be basketball. I feel like I’m really creative when I get the ball so I feel like I could be the Steve Nash of the NBA.

1. If you were a superhero, what powers would you have?

I’ve always like teleportation so I’d like to be able to teleport. I’d get around faster, just pop up somewhere.

2. What is your spirit animal and why?

I’d say a monkey. When I was a kid I was always into monkeys. I like how they swing around, jump around, always exciting things to do so I’ll go with a monkey.

3. What is your matchday routine?

I usually eat some oatmeal, toast and banana for breakfast. I played a lot of FIFA during the day, listen to music and then talk to my mom a couple hours before the game. Then I try to get my nerves down and get ready for the game.

4. If you were stuck on a deserted island, what three items would you bring?

I’d probably take a pot, a machete and a compass so I could know where I was going.

5. Aside from soccer, what other sport do you like to watch or play?

I love basketball. It’s my second favorite sport in the world. I love to play it and I love to watch it and I’m a Los Angeles Clippers fan.

Sacramento Republic FC defender Elliott Hord has been named to the USL Team of the Week for week 24. This is Hord’s first Team of the Week recognition after just three appearances with Republic FC since signing with the club on Aug. 19.

Sacramento Republic FC defender Elliott Hord has been named to the USL Team of the Week for week 24. This is Hord’s first Team of the Week recognition after just three appearances with Republic FC since signing with the club on Aug. 19.

Hord earned his Team of the Week selection for his performance in Republic FC’s 2-1 win against Orange County Blues FC. Republic FC was tied 1-1 with the Blues in the 85th minute when Hord sent in a perfect cross after a great run down the right flank. Forward Harry Williams found himself unmarked in front of goal, settled the cross and shot the ball past Blues goalkeeper Brandon Miller to score the match-winning goal.

With the win, Republic FC became the first team in the USL Western Conference to clinch a spot in the 2016 USL Playoffs. Republic FC also remained in first place in the West, two points ahead of the surging Rio Grande Valley FC.

Hord joined Republic FC on Aug. 19 and has quickly integrated himself into the squad. The Republic FC defender made his first appearance on Aug. 24 in Republic FC’s 1-0 win at Orange County Blues FC. He made his first start in Republic FC’s following match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 on Aug. 27.

The 25-year-old defender joined Republic FC from PDL side Fresno Fuego. Collegiately, Hord played for the UC Davis Men’s Soccer team, where he appeared in 67 matches over four seasons with the Aggies. Hord also played abroad for Swedish third division club Yxhults IK during the 2015 season.

This is the fifth straight week that a Republic FC has been recognized on the USL Team of the Week. Since week 20, five different players, including Hord, have been named to the Team of the Week.

Hord is joined on Team of the Week by goalkeeper Tomas Gomez (Rochester Rhinos); defenders Tony Alfaro (Seattle Sounders FC 2) and Aaron Long (New York Red Bulls II); midfielders Aodhan Quinn (Louisville City FC), T.J. Casner (Rio Grande Valley FC), Ayrton (Swope Park Rangers) and Enzo Martinez (Charlotte Independence); and forwards Darwin Jones (Seattle Sounders FC 2), Mike Seth (Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC) and Villyan Bijev (Portland Timbers 2).

Sacramento Republic FC announced this week that the Runnin’ For Rhett Foundation is the next recipient of a Glory Glory Sacramento Fund grant.  The nonprofit during halftime of the Republic FC vs Orange County Blues match on Sept. 3 and will receive a $20,000 grant to fund 700 students enrolled in programming aimed at teaching underserved youth about health and fitness.

The Runnin’ for Rhett Foundation was inspired by the legacy of Rhett Seevers, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at just four months old. After his death in 2004 at the age of seven, Beth Seevers, Rhett’s mom, was introduced to running by a family friend and in 2007, the Runnin’ for Rhett Foundation was born.

Runnin’ For Rhett’s Youth Fitness Program is one program within the Foundation that is dedicated to teaching underserved families about the importance of physical activity and nutrition with the Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties. The program provides students with five weeks of training where they meet twice a week with coaches to learn about proper nutrition as well as running and stretching techniques.

All participants also receive entrance to the Run Because You Can race, an annual 5K run/walk that is a part of the Runnin’ For Rhett Foundation race events, along with a Runnin’ for Rhett t-shirt, wristband and a finishing medal.

The grant from the Glory Glory Sacramento Fund will be used to cover the expenses for more than 700 Runnin’ For Rhett Youth Fitness Program participants. These students are part of a larger 6,200 students served by the Runnin’ For Rhett Youth Fitness program across 126 Sacramento area schools.

Aside from the $20,000 grant awarded, the Foundation will also be partnered with Republic FC forward Harry Williams. Williams will serve as a spokesperson and mentor for the program, as well as visit student events.

The Glory Glory Sacramento Fund was founded this past spring to celebrate and elevate nonprofits that share the same indomitable spirit as our region. The Fund provides individual grants up to $20,000 for nonprofits selected.

Since May, the Fund has distributed grants to twelve nonprofits, including the Runnin’ for Rhett Foundation. The other nonprofits that have been recognized and received grants from the Glory Glory Sacramento Fund include StudentReach, College Track, Powerhouse Science Center, La Familia Counseling Center, Sacramento Regional Conversation Corps, Cristo Rey High School, Community Outreach Academy, 916 Ink, Waking the Village, Street Soccer USA and the Capital Dance Project. The final three grants for 2016 will be awarded at the September 17 match.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (September 2, 2016) – Sacramento Republic FC have loaned midfielders Max Alvarez, Joaquin Rivas and Chase Minter and forward Christian Chaney to the USL club’s MLS affiliate, the San Jose Earthquakes. The midfielders join the Earthquakes for their friendly match against CF Pachuca. The players will return to Republic FC following the friendly match at Avaya Stadium on Sept. 3. Chaney’s loan is pending USL approval.

“First and foremost, Pachuca is a formidable team, playing in an exceptionally good league. Any player, given the opportunity, would jump at the chance to play a club of that stature,” said Republic FC Director of Football Graham Smith. “The very fact that they will be playing for the Quakes means that there is a platform on which they can demonstrate their abilities. They will be playing in an environment away from their daily training routine with us and they will be able to use the experience as a barometer of where they are at in comparison to both MLS and Liga MX players. It is gratifying to know that Dominic Kinnear is happy to bring in Republic FC players and give them this chance. I am a great believer in the loan system, having seen its effect on players such as Matt LaGrassa, Tommy Thompson and Adam Jahn, and hopefully our players will benefit accordingly.”

Alvarez has appeared in 15 USL matches this season, including three starts, recording an assist. Rivas and Minter each have six USL appearances this season, including two starts. Minter spent the month of August on loan with Tulsa Roughnecks FC, making three substitute appearances and playing 72 minutes. Chaney signed with Republic FC on Aug. 12 and has not made an appearance.

Republic FC currently sit in first place in the USL Western Conference with just four matches remaining in the USL regular season. They will fight to maintain their standing when they take on playoff contenders, Orange County Blues FC, on Saturday, Sept. 3 at Bonney Field. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com.

Sacramento Republic FC Academy U-17/18s are soon due to begin a new season in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, but the team will look a bit different as many players exit the Academy to continue their development outside of youth soccer.

Twenty Republic FC Academy players graduated from high school across the Sacramento region this past spring, while others have officially aged out of the Academy after having played during their freshman year of college.

Defender Heriberto Melgoza, who served as U-17/18 Academy captain during the 2016-2017 season, attended UC Davis while playing in the Academy, putting off collegiate soccer in order to be eligible to participate in the program. This season, the 19-year-old defender will finally step onto a college pitch, after transferring from UC Davis to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to play with the Mustangs.

Several other Republic FC U-17/18 alums will be continuing their soccer careers in college, heading to NCAA Division I soccer programs across California.

Defenders David Burns, Mackenzie Harrington, Samuel Dadzie and Nabilai Kibunguchy are heading to UC Berkeley, Sacramento State, Cal State Northridge and UC Davis, respectively. Midfielder Will DuBay will suit up for Loyola Marymount University, while fellow midfielder Jeff Dukes will play at San Jose State. The lone forward in the group, Joseph Restani, will play at Saint Mary’s College.

No two players are attending the same school, however, six will meet each other across two conferences.

Harrington (Sacramento State), Kibunguchy (UC Davis), Melgoza (Cal Poly San Luis Obispo) and Dadzie (Cal State Northridge) will play against each other in the Big West Conference. DuBay (Loyola Marymount University) and Restani (St. Mary’s College) will be facing off in the West Coast Conference, while Burns (Cal/Pac-12) and Dukes (San Jose State/Western Athletic Conference) will be the only two of the group not to face Academy teammates in their collegiate conferences.

Although not in the same conference, Dadzie and Burns faced off on August 14 as Cal State Northridge defeated UC Berkeley 2-1 in an exhibition match. Closer to home, Kibunguchy made his NCAA Division I debut with UC Davis Men’s Soccer on August 21 in an exhibition match against Chico State.

“We want to thank all the former Academy players for what they have done for the club in its inaugural season and wish them luck in the next phase of their life,” said Vice President of Football Administration Kevin Goldthwaite. “These kids are forever a part of the SRFC family and we hope they continue to develop both as people as well as soccer players.”

The Republic FC Academy U-17/18s ended their season on a high note, reaching the quarterfinals of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Playoffs in the program’s inaugural season, before falling to Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-17/18s. The U-17/18s ended the regular season in second place in the tough Northwest Division, with a record of 17-7-7.

The 2016-2017 Academy season will begin on Sept. 3, when Republic FC Academy U-15/16s and U-17/18s take on their Vancouver Whitecaps FC counterparts. The U-12s will also kick off their season on Sept. 3, traveling to Pacifica, Calif., to face the San Francisco Elite Academy. For their part, the U-13s and U-14s will begin their season on Sept. 10 against the San Juan SC U-13 and U-14 teams, respectively.

Sacramento Republic FC Academy U-17/18s are soon due to begin a new season in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, but the team will look a bit different as many players exit the Academy to continue their development outside of youth soccer.

Twenty Republic FC Academy players graduated from high school across the Sacramento region this past spring, while others have officially aged out of the Academy after having played during their freshman year of college.

Defender Heriberto Melgoza, who served as U-17/18 Academy captain during the 2016-2017 season, attended UC Davis while playing in the Academy, putting off collegiate soccer in order to be eligible to participate in the program. This season, the 19-year-old defender will finally step onto a college pitch, after transferring from UC Davis to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to play with the Mustangs.

Sacramento Republic FC will award two more Glory Glory Sacramento Fund grants to two Sacramento region nonprofits, StudentReach and College Track. Both organizations have a mission of helping underserved students reach academic success.

College Track is a college completion program that works to empower students from underserved communities, on both an academic level and a personal level. The Sacramento chapter opened its doors in 2014, and is currently serving almost 120 students, 88 percent of whom will be the first to pursue a four-year college education.

The program welcomed a new group of 60 freshmen this past June. This new group will join the returning College Track sophomores and juniors for school year programming beginning this month. The college completion program guides students through all aspects of the college application and selection process. College Track Sacramento will hire a College Completion Director to implement and lead the College Track college completion model in Sacramento. The grant will help make this happen.

StudentReach provides services and programs with Life Coaching Services to Sacramento area students. The ALIVE Life Coaching program works with students who come from at-risk backgrounds, such as homelessness, academic failure, refugee status, foster care and other at-risk behaviors. The program provides students with leadership skills, job skills and college prep they will need to succeed through adulthood.

StudentReach will use their grant to service two more school districts for the upcoming 2016/2017 school year. During the 2015/2016 school year, StudentReach served approximately 200 students, doubling the previous number of students, with Grant Union High School most recently adding this program for their freshman class. With the Glory Glory Sacramento grant, StudentReach will serve an additional 200 students in Sacramento for this next school year. The grant will go towards monthly Life Coach stipends, two semester camping trips for 200 students, monthly local extra-curricular outings for 200 students, such as trips to museums and more.

Both College Reach and StudentReach were recognized  during halftime of the Republic FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 match on Saturday, August 27. Each organization will also be paired with a Republic FC player who will serve as a mentor or spokesperson for the nonprofit.

The Glory Glory Sacramento Fund was founded in May 2016 to celebrate and elevate nonprofits that share the same indomitable spirit as our region. The Fund provides individual grants up to $20,000 for nonprofits selected. Since May, the Fund has distributed over $200,000 to eleven non-profits, including College Track and StudentReach. These non-profits include Powerhouse Science Center, La Familia Counseling Center, Sacramento Regional Conversation Corps, Cristo Rey High School, Community Outreach Academy, 916 Ink, Waking the Village, Street Soccer USA and the Capital Dance Project.
