Hayley VanDyke '27 Recruiting Profile

Hello! My name is Hayley VanDyke, I’m a 16-year-old sophomore playing with Northern Steel - Phoenix 09, and a deep passion for soccer along with a strong commitment to academic excellence. I've been playing the game since I was seven, and it has shaped not only my skills on the field but also who I am as a teammate and leader. Currently, I serve as one of the Varsity Captains for my high school team, where I play center midfield for the full game. 

As a center mid, I pride myself on being a playmaker, a communicator, and a relentless competitor. My coaches have called me “a natural-born center-mid” and “the type of teammate and player everyone wants,” which reflects the dedication I bring to both practices and games. I’m constantly working to elevate not just my own performance, but also that of my teammates, always leading by example and offering support wherever it's needed.

Off the field, I maintain the same high standards. I’m deeply committed to my academics and consistently strive for excellence in the classroom. Whether it's schoolwork, training, or community involvement, I bring focus, discipline, and a positive attitude to everything I do.
