“At 16, Kal made a seamless transition from youth football to the senior game, leaving no doubt in the minds of any of our coaches about his readiness for this significant step. His exceptional technical skills instilled confidence in us, allowing him to excel in various positions on the field. Kal is not only reliable and hardworking but also consistently maintains a positive attitude, making him a valuable presence in the dressing room. He will undoubtedly be an asset to any team he represents. We wish Kal all the best in this new chapter of his life and are confident that he will excel in any endeavour he pursues..”
“Kal is a polite young man first and foremost, who’s very bright and is also great to have in the changing room with the other lads. Easy to get along with and a good member of any squad. He’s a talented and a very versatile player who can play in a couple of positions, his height and athleticism is a real plus of his game. His technical ability for a big lad is also sufficient and can certainly be more than just an athlete. Having played in the states myself, at both collegiate and professional level, I know that Kal would make a great addition to any soccer program, as he’s a well rounded guy who would be nothing but a pleasure to work with. A student athlete that I’m sure would bring in very good grades and a positive and valuable member of the soccer program. ”
