Dayna Hanson '24 Recruiting Profile

As soon as I scored my first goal on an all boys soccer team, I knew that soccer was what I wanted to play. Being 3 years old and the shortest on the team, did not stop me from fighting for every ball. When I moved up to travel and premier soccer, I was playing soccer non-stop and improving myself in every way I could. 

When I played on the CFC Valley 06 team from 2018-2021, my team and I went to Nationals in Colorado, where we placed 2nd in our bracket. For my high school team, I play on Varsity as an attacking midfielder, but can also play outside forward. I have played every position on the field, but I can\ say that my strengths are most prominent in the midfield. I am a leader to my teammates and provide support, both positive and constructive, to help them be their best.  I currently play on the Sporting O5 Premier team as an 06 player. I am looking forward to showing my skills with an older group of girls.

With academics, I maintain a 4.0 GPA and have been in honors and currently enrolled in an AP Language course. I am dedicated throughout the school year when it comes to my grades that show my work. I work hard, I'm committed and strive to the best I can in all that I do. I am looking to pursuing my education on the college level focusing in Sports Medicine, while playing and growing my soccer performance at a high level. 

Outside of school and soccer, I am a member of BBYO, (B'nai Brith Youth Organization), a Jewish organization where teens come together in events to celebrate their Jewish heritage in various forms of community service events, national conventions, and group activities to bring the community together in a positive way. 

To honor my late grandfather, I help my grandmother with events, such as community walks to raise money for APDA, American Parkinson's Disease Association. At the events, I help in guiding the walks, work the donation tent and lend a helping hand where I can. My grandfather was my biggest fan as I grew with soccer, so by participating and supporting APDA in his honor is how I can help others fight like he did.

I am excited about this new experience and look forward to see where I land for the next stage of my soccer and academic career.
