KHA Players Travel to ECNL RL Kansas City
Headed to Kansas City! This month, we had a handful of ladies from our KHA G07 and KHA G08 teams travel to Kansas City with the KH ECNL RL teams for the ECNL Regional League Kansas City showcase. Working with the Kings Hammer ECNL RL program to attend these events gives our players an opportunity to train and play at a higher level as well as gain exposure on a larger platform. Way to go on a great weekend, ladies!
Players Getting Involved: KHA Cincinnati North Girls
We want to give a shout out to our KHA Cincinnati North G13 ladies for their recent involvement in local community programs. Last month, these girls got together to organize materials for the Illumi-Nite, a service project organized by KeepGoing25 where youth show up for others by placing luminary displays at the homes of people in need of support and love. Click here to learn more about KeepGoing25.
They also participated in the Girls on the Run 5k in Downtown Cincinnati. Girls on the Run’s mission is to inspire individuals of all abilities to discover, build, and grow their self-confidence. Click here to learn more about Girl’s on the Run.
We love seeing our players give back to their community. Way to get out and get involved, ladies!

November Education: Looking Back on the Year
The holiday season is upon us and the new year is approaching. Most of our Kings Hammer teams have concluded their seasons, providing the ideal time to reflect on the journey through 2024 for all of us. This year has provided opportunities for growth, learning, and countless memorable moments. Here are some areas I hope that all of our families, coaches, players, and staff can reflect on and appreciate from this past year.
Team Spirit, Respect, and Unity: Respect and Unity, two of Kings Hammers Core Values, have been a key emphasis throughout the year. Teams and individuals have truly embodied the spirit of unity and camaraderie. Whether it’s cheering each other on during matches or supporting one another through challenges, the sense of community within our program has been strong. These bonds extend beyond the field, fostering friendships and a supportive environment for all.
Growth and Development: While every Kings Hammer player will be moving on their on path to development, one of the most rewarding aspects of youth sports is witnessing the growth and development of each player. Whether it is mastering new skills, improving their teamwork, growing stronger or faster, or even making new friends, each player has shown remarkable progress. It is inspiring to see the dedication and hard work of players on and off the field.
