Players training and playing in Diablo Futbol Club can look for inspiration from club members before them who have gone on to play college soccer. In fact, players from the two local soccer clubs which came together to form Diablo FC have sent over 150 alumni to more than 65 universities and colleges in 18 states.

The list of colleges former club members have previously or are currently attending is very impressive. It includes men`s and women`s Division I national championship schools North Carolina, UC Santa Barbara, University of Portland, Duke, Virginia and University of San Francisco. In addition, Division II and Division III NCAA championship schools UC San Diego, Cal State University Sonoma and Cal State East Bay also have been home to multiple club alumni.

At least four club alumni are now playing professional soccer in the United States and abroad. Former USA Olympic Team goalkeeper Adin Brown is currently in the Norwegian First Division with Aalesunds FK after playing in Major League Soccer for the New England Revolution, Tampa Bay Mutiny and Colorado Rapids.  Chris Wondolowski  is a member of the San Jose Earthquakes after winning a pair of MLS Cup winner`s medals with the Houston Dynamo, including one with his brother Stephen Wondolowski. MLS 2009 #1 goalkeeper draft pick Stefan Frei is a sensation as starting goalkeeper for Toronto FC. Calen Carr is on the Chicago Fire. Former club player and Cal Bear Noah Merl was a member of the A-League champion Seattle Sounders.

Chris Wondolowski scored the historic 7000th goal in MLS history in May 2009 against the New York Red Bulls while still a member of Houston. He played for Technical Director Marquis White at De La Salle High School while both Stephen Wondolowski and Stefan Frei were prep stars for Director of Coaching Brian Voltattorni at DLS. Brown and Merl are also Spartan grads.

Director of coaching Brian Voltattorni and his staff, which includes former MLS players White and Richard Weiszmann, Brazilian National team star Sissi and her World Cup and Olympic teammate Tafarel, St. Mary's College men's head coach Adam Cooper and SMC assistant Jon Bernal and University of California goalkeeper coach Henry Foulk, not only give Diablo FC players outstanding individual training but also help them in the college preparation process. This includes guidance on the identification of colleges, the recruitment and application process and exposure to college coaches through high level tournaments.

Some club alumni have continued on to college and became football placekickers. That`s right, the American game of football,
not futbol! Many club members double as placekickers on their high school football teams in the fall and soccer players in the winter. Several alumni have parlayed their athletic ability in soccer and football into a football career at college programs around the United States.

Some club alumni have used the youth soccer experience in our club as part of their foundation when they pursued other sports as they got older. The values of commitment, teamwork, competition, training and fitness they learned in our club have benefited them as they continued their athletic careers at a high level.
