“I am happy to be signing with American River College Men’s Soccer under the guidance of Coach Paul Hansen. I graduate from Center High School on May 30th, 2024, and look forward to starting college in the Fall, majoring in Kinesiology. After getting a tour from Coach Paul and hearing about the soccer program, I knew it was the right fit for me and my future plans. My goal is to play at ARC for two years while taking enough credits to transfer to Sonoma State and get a teaching credential. I hope to continue playing soccer there. I want to thank the amazing coaches I have had from Castro Valley, AFC Soccer Club, and Center High. Thank you to Coach Kevin, Coach Joel, and Coach Matt. May he rest in peace for welcoming me to Placer United for the last two years. They have all taught me a lot about the game and the kind of player I want to be. I especially want to thank my family, who have supported me unconditionally.

I look forward to this exciting time in my life!” —Daniel Sanchez
