Empowerment Event for La Roca FC Female Coaches and Players

PUMA King has invited two female coaches and two female players from La Roca FC to attend the
2019 Women’s Summit in New York City.

South Weber, UT, December 04, 2019 --(PR.com)-- La Roca Futbol Club is elated to be sending two
coaches and two players to the 2019 PUMA King Women's Summit in New York City, December 14-15,
2019. The all-expense paid trip is one of the benefits of La Roca FC's unique partnership with the Puma
King Football Club. La Roca FC is one of only 9 youth soccer clubs in the United States that PUMA has
partnered with in offering exclusive opportunities like the Women's Summit to coaches and players.

The Women's Summit will be held at the PUMA Showroom in Manhattan and will be an exciting
weekend focused on women's empowerment. The Summit's events will range from college recruitment,
playing professionally, health and wellness, to women in business. The range of topics were chosen to
help women in all facets and phases of their lives and expose them to potential opportunities above and
beyond the game of soccer.

Coaches Heidi Wheelwright and Lei Anne Price were selected to attend, as well as players Sae Obayashi
from the La Roca Premier CS 03 team and Addie Lindstrom from the La Roca Premier AB 03 team. “We
would love to send every female in our club to attend,” said Adolfo Ovalle, La Roca's founder and
Technical Director, “but that's not possible, so we took a deep look at those individuals who have been
loyal to La Roca from the start and who we thought could benefit from it the most. We're hopeful that
they will come back and share their knowledge with the rest of us to further empower the women of La
Roca.”

“I'm so excited about this opportunity,” said coach Heidi Wheelwright. “The fact that this summit is
devoted to the needs and empowerment of women is so refreshing. As coaches we get to shape lives on
the field, and by adding these additional opportunities for our young women, we get to also help shape
their lives as mothers, community influencers and potential business owners.”

When asked about the upcoming trip to New York City, La Roca player Sae Obayashi said, “I am
extremely excited for this incredible opportunity! I'm so thrilled to have the chance to represent my club
to the best of my ability.”

The coaches and players will get an opportunity to report on this event at La Roca FC's annual gala
January 25, 2020 at the Legacy Events Center.
