Maya Belcastro '24 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'8" multi sport athlete who loves everything about sports! Coaches describe me as fast, wily, aggressive, strong and with a powerful shot.  I am a versatile player; I play striker but can easily play outside forward, attacking mid and when our goalie has been injured or unavailable, I was our backup goalie. Years playing rep basketball and running track has increased my ball IQ, coordination and speed. I have trained for years with my older sister who began playing Division 1 soccer in September 2021.  My previous team had been very successful and moved from Rep Division to Regionals to playing OPDL. I was of the league's top five scorers in the past years. I was excited to finally play Varsity high school soccer in the spring of 2022 post-COVID scoring 10 Varsity goals in my first year. I was selected Varsity MVP in my Junior year, selected to the Regional All-Star game and was chosen as the MVP for the Regional All-Star game. I am hoping to pursue post-secondary school and play soccer the US which led me to switch to playing for the Western New York Flash team for 2022-23. We had an excellent season - please see my video highlights- and I look forward to playing with them again in my Senior year.
