“Growing up in the Sacramento region I never had the opportunity to look up to professional soccer players from the area. What Jalil and his family are doing for the Davis region is amazing and it was great to see the smiling faces of the kids at the camp. Their excitement and curiosity to learn about the beautiful game was a joy for me to experience.”
