Chula Vista FC G2009 Academy’s Hannah Gomez has been playing soccer since she was 8 years old. Her mother, Elizabeth Gomez, recalls how she started with our DV7/CVFC family: “We heard that David Villa was coming to San Diego. After an amazing clinic with David Villa and meeting former DV7 Director and former CVFC DA (US Development Academy) Head Coach Diego Gomez, we decided to join DV7. Hannah was the first 2009 girl to sign up. I know this because she had the first pick when it came to choosing her number (# 7). Ever since then, we have been part of the DV7/CVFC family.”
CVFC’s Academy Director and Hannah’s current Head Coach, Jose Hector Diaz, had this to say: Hannah is a highly talented technical player who makes a big difference in the field. She consistently disrupts our opponents, creating awkward situations for them and opportunities for her team. She has been with CVFC since the partnership with DV7 was formed, and we appreciate her and her family’s loyalty to our club.” Hannah is a starter and plays as an attacking midfielder for her team.
Hannah is a great athlete. Not only does she play soccer, but she also plays basketball and field hockey for her school. Mrs. Gomez, who is also CVFC’s Social Media Director, tells us about Hannah’s other sports achievements: “Hannah played soccer for Hilltop Middle and helped bring the banner home in both 7th and 8th grade. She was named the MVP. She is currently a freshman at Hilltop High School and a starter on the Varsity team. Hannah also joined the basketball team last year at Hilltop Middle. She also played on the varsity field hockey at Hilltop High School last fall and made the all-star team. She was also named Best Offensive Player.”
Hannah’s idol is Cristiano Ronaldo, and her nickname is Chewie.
Hannah is also very successful academically. She is a straight-A student with a 4.0 GPA for all middle school and her first semester of high school. She has won an Honor Roll award and a Leadership Award.
Hannah’s academic and athletic achievements are exactly what we at CVFC/DV7 try to promote each day to our players. We are very proud of her and thankful to her family for their loyalty.
