Access to these facilities has greatly enhanced the high school athletic experience for our student- <br />athletes and it has greatly improved the success of our athletic program which has won over 28 High School <br />League Championships. The use of the city's Stadium has allowed us to grow our program to work with over <br />100 student-athletes from Santa Ana High School. As a result, the Santa Ana High School Soccer program can <br />provide student-athletes, all of whom are residents in the city of Santa Ana, a quality practice facility in which <br />to train year-round. Besides the obvious benefits to the physical wellbeing of the youth we serve in the city of <br />Santa Ana, our program also works with students-athletes to pursue high academic achievement and civic <br />responsibility, including public service through volunteer efforts, high graduation rates, and college <br />acceptances. Therefore, we are in favor of the proposed "Athletic Facility Reservation Policy" because it <br />would ensure greater access for the residents of the City of Santa Ana, and the student at Santa Ana High <br />School to the city parks and recreation facilities. <br /> <br />Joe Penaflor <br />Santa Ana High School <br />Head Coach Boys Soccer <br />Teacher Social Science <br />949-887-4551 <br />1 <br /> <br />
