About the Trojans

The Valley Trojans are a minor league football organization. Full contact adult football is our business and the development of our players is the reward. We have dedicated our time and efforts to create a top notch football program...All of our efforts are moving in the same direction. We are focused on producing the best team in minor league football. But at the same time we know that this game is played for love and just plain old fun! So we keep that in mind as we make our dent in the league.

The Valley Trojans were formed following the 2005 season by Brandon Wright, Jeff Hernandez, and David Perez. After running a different organization from 2003 to 2005 seasons, the three decided to start their own squad. Prior to the 2007 season, they welcomed the addition of Axel Hernandez and Bryant Barrientos as fellow owners. Now with five team owners, the Trojans have the tools in place to manage all aspects of the teams needs.

All of the owners have been playing, coaching or working together since the 2003 season. In that time, they have been working toward the same goals; provide a platform for players to work as a family, have fun, and improve their skills for a chance to move up to the professional ranks.
