REFLECTIONS on 2024

Dear District 7 and CalNorth Families,

As 2024 comes to a close, I want to extend my heartfelt best wishes and season’s greetings to all of you. This year has been remarkable for soccer in our community, and I’m deeply grateful for the collective efforts that have made it so special.

In the world of soccer, 2024 has been nothing short of FUNtastic for District 7. Our leagues have grown to include over 15,000+ players—an incredible milestone—and we’ve seen our community spirit thrive with each event. A huge to every parent, player, referee, and administrator for your tireless dedication and unwavering support.

As we reflect on the challenges and triumphs of this past year, I encourage you to share your memorable moments and highlights in Karls’ Komments. These personal stories capture the true essence of our soccer community and help inspire others.

Our beloved sport has shown remarkable resilience, and I’m inspired daily by the determination and passion of everyone involved. Looking ahead to 2025, let’s continue building on this momentum and making our soccer community even stronger.

If you’re still thinking of holiday gifts, consider a new soccer ball —it’s the perfect present for players and coaches alike! And if you’re planning an outing, attending an MLS match can be a thrilling experience. Having visited BMO Stadium in LA and PayPal Park in San Jose, I can personally attest to the excitement and energy these venues offer.

As Christmas and the New Year approaches, may the festive spirit bring joy to your homes and hearts. Thank you for being an integral part of our soccer family. Here’s to a new year filled with exciting challenges and rewarding victories!

Warmest Regards,
