PRESS RELEASE – For many top soccer players, having a role model at an early age – whether it is an international star featured daily in media or someone closer to home – assists immensely in developing a pure love for the sport.
“I started playing soccer because my older brother, Patson, started playing soccer and I look up to him,” said Patrick Haimin, one of Community First Dededo Soccer Club’s top U12A players. “I was six years old when I started and I really love playing. My favorite part of the sport is playing fair with my teammates in league matches. In practice, I always look forward to scrimmages because that’s the most fun.
“This season, our club put in a team in the U12A division and we are doing well. I hope we can finish in the top three,” added Haimin, an 11-year-old student at Vicente S.A. Benavente Middle School.
Dededo has two more regular season matches in the Triple J Auto Group Robbie Webber Youth Soccer League and is currently in fifth place. In the team’s Week 7 match against the Tigers, Haimin scored four goals in his team’s 7-4 win. Yuuki Kubo scored twice and Kaden Rivera once in the win. Seung Chan Lee scored four for the Tigers.
