Nikki Jalili '22 Recruiting Profile

Dear Coaches,

My name is Nikki Jalili from Ontario, Canada. I am graduating high school in June 2022. I currently play soccer at the highest level in my region within Toronto, and I'm a 17-year-old female (grade 12). Below is some information about my soccer background as I am very interested in being a part of a University Soccer League.

I have been playing soccer since the age of 4. Ontario Player Development League (OPDL) is the highest level of soccer in Ontario for my age group. From ages 8-13, REP is the highest league of soccer. I played for the rep team at Richmond Hill Soccer Club until age 13. At 13, I was selected to play OPDL soccer for Richmond Hill Soccer Club. Since then, I've played OPDL soccer, and I am currently 17 years old (born in 2004). I've played OPDL soccer for two years with the older 2002 girls for the past three years. While playing OPDL, I was scouted for Provincials twice and FTC Canada, which are considerable achievements in my region as well as I am just starting to play for the League 1 Reserve team for Vaughan Soccer Club.

Furthermore, in my high school grade 9, I was selected to play for the senior girl's soccer team with the grade 11 and 12 girls. I was the only grade 9 to be chosen, and this was done based on my soccer-playing abilities and skills.

My job even includes soccer as I coach younger kids, and I am the head of the OPDL game coordinator position for Ontario Soccer and Richmond Hill Soccer Club.

Overall all aspects of my life revolve around soccer, including my career goals. Since a young age, being part of a team has made me a great team player, leader, and I have a fantastic amount of soccer experience as it is my passion. I'm very humble about my achievements and want to improve my abilities. I'm very loyal to my teammates and the soccer club, which is why I've been playing for the same club since I was four years old. Soccer and school are my top priorities as I finished the past school year with a 91% average and never failed to miss a practice.

My usual position is right full-back or left full-back (outside back) as my feet are ambidextrous, though I love to play attacking wing. I want the opportunity to be part of your team, and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

I would love the opportunity to demonstrate my soccer skills and apply for the Women's Soccer Team Scholarship Program.

Yours Truly,

Nikki Jalili
