President's 2024 Annual Letter

Dear NASA Community, 

As we come to the close of another year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared throughout the 2024 soccer seasons. It has been a year filled with growth, teamwork, and remarkable achievements, and I am truly grateful for each one of you who has contributed to the success of our North Andover Soccer Association.

This year, we witnessed our players demonstrate not only skill but also sportsmanship and dedication on and off the field. From our youngest players just starting their soccer journey to our older teams who are honing their talents for future endeavors, it has been inspiring to watch everyone develop. Our teams enjoyed successful seasons, including  MTOC Champions and several playoff teams, showcasing the hard work and determination that our players have invested.

Our dedicated coaches have gone above and beyond this year, fostering a positive and nurturing environment that encourages growth, both as players and individuals. Their commitment reflects our association’s values, and I want to extend my deepest gratitude to them for their relentless efforts. Our youth Referees have demonstrated courage and leadership, officiating our in-town soccer G2 and G4 games, highlighting their passion and knowledge of this amazing game.

We also hosted several community events this year, from fundraisers to jamborees, which not only strengthened our soccer community but also brought together families and friends. The turnout and support from all of you were heartwarming and generous, and it's a testament to the remarkable community we have built together. 

Thank you to all our Board members and community volunteers, who tirelessly donate their time to ensure that our organization runs smoothly. Your efforts are invaluable and significantly enhance the soccer experience for our children.

As we move forward, we are excited to continue building on our successes. We are always  planning for new initiatives aimed at developing our programs and enhancing the experience for all players in the coming years.

As we celebrate the holiday season and prepare for the year ahead, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for your support, encouragement, and dedication to the North Andover Soccer Association. Together, we are creating lasting memories and a strong foundation for our vibrant soccer community.

Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a happy New Year! 

Warm regards, 

Scott Hammond

President
