U-17

KHARA MICHELLE JOHN began playing soccer at age 3. Naturally talented and very focused, she soon developed a “good kick” which led her to become the top goal scorer for her club team Jackson Destiny, where for 8 years, she played in the positions of Striker, Right Wing and Right Midfielder. Jackson Destiny emerged as the U15 US Club State Champs in 2008.

It may be only a few short months since New Zealand hosted the first-ever FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, but preparations are already well underway for a second edition that promises to be every bit as successful.
