About
Claire Hirakawa is a dynamic ECNL midfielder from the San Diego Surf 07/08 ECNL team. She primarily plays attacking center mid for them and as a left footed winger. She is fast, athletic, and crafty with the ball. Claire sees the field well, is a creative passer, and is great at possessing and keeping the ball under pressure for her team. Defensively she’s great in 1 vs 1 situations and has good timing and footwork to win the ball back.
Her ECNL experience started when she was younger with the Pateadores, then a few years later for the SoCal Blues ECNL, and after coaching changes she decided to play for SD Surf ECNL. As a GAP player Claire has had the opportunity to play up a grade in the highly competitive 08 ECNL division which has helped to develop her technical skills against older players many of which are playing in college next year.
She has been a varsity starter since her freshman year, led the team in goals as a Sophomore and was honored as an All-Conference player. Her junior season is starting soon. Claire will be attending the Arizona Fall Showcase this November.
In the classroom she carries a 4.6 GPA and loves surfing, but is willing to play away from the coast to get a good education and soccer environment if needed. She is wanting to pursue a degree in the engineering field, possibly environmental, or marine biology, or even a good business degree.
Her SD Surf ECNL Coach is Juan Porras and his cell is 650-921-2189.
