Karl Noivadhana, President

Karl Noivadhana lives and breathes soccer. His passion for the sport began in Thailand where he played throughout his childhood. He continued to play for two years in a junior college in Oklahoma before transferring to Temple University on a soccer scholarship and was Captain of the team during his senior year. Also was voted a member of the All East Middle Atlantic Conference. He played on the Connecticut Premier League before retiring 16 years ago to pass his passion for the game on to children through coaching.

Karl has been coaching for the past 14 years at all levels of youth organizations. He was a board member of Wilton Soccer Association and Director of coaching and players development. His biggest accomplishment was that his teams won U-9 Girls State Championship and U-16 Girls State and Regional championships.

It is Karl's dream to share his enthusiasm for soccer with others. The construction and operation of the Connecticut Sports Complex will provide and opportunity for organized team competition and children development that is not currently available in this area. His philosophy centers around the belief that playing soccer not only keeps an individual physical fit, but mentally as well. Soccer, like any team sport, foster camaraderie and the players build their self-esteem as they amass skills.
