Hello All,
I cannot believe we are here already in the last day of the Year! Honestly I cant believe that 2019 is wrapping up in a couple of hours, I have to say that I am not the type of person that makes a big deal about the “Calendar” year, after all it is just one day after the other! However 2019 was special! The Nona Soccer Academy “Family” has grown tremendously and it is now a reference in youth sports in Lake Nona, as well as an example for the Youth Soccer world in Central Florida!
I am Very Happy with the development of our children in the Game of soccer but Most importantly their behavior on and off the field. Also very proud of the PARENTS, who are following the academy rules of bahavior on the side lines and trusting the process of true development!
Just a quick Review of what we accomplished in 2019:
