Dear Toca Families,

He was a fantastic kid and very talented soccer player that enjoyed the game of soccer a ton. We were very impressed with his talent after he came for a tryout June 15th 2007. In September of 2007 he was able to join the U11 Blue team for a few games the same season while been coached by Oscar Berrios.

He was then coached by Kari Noelle McCullough the Spring 2008, Fall 2008 and the final season of Spring 2009.

He won the Most Improved Player Award after the Spring 2008 and the Toca Spirit Award after the Fall 2008 Season.

We will always remember his great personal sportsmanship on the field. He was very well liked by all the Toca Juniors Coaches, staff and players during all these seasons. We lost a truly remarkable kid and we are heartbroken about the news.

Please join the family Wednesday January 13th from 6-9 pm at St Bartholomew Church located on 6904 River Road, Bethesda MD 20817-4744.

We really would really appreciate any effort you can make to be there for Nicolas' family.

Very respectfully,

Toca Juniors Coaches
