Congratulations are very much in order as Nova Pioneer graduate and TTA Member from the class of 2022, Derrick Onyango, this week, committed to join Cardinal Stritch University on a 69% soccer scholarship through TTA’s Special SRUSA Program.
Derrick made the decision after receiving offers and interest from Hastings University, Milligan University, St. Scholastica, Indiana Wesleyan, University of Rio Grande, etc. with soccer scholarship offers worth over 60,000 US Dollars per year. Cardinal Stritch is one of the most consistent NAIA Men’s soccer programs in the United States, having qualified for the NAIA National Tournament in 4 out of the past 6 years.
Derrick is a 2022 graduate of the True Talents of Africa Football Academy at Nova Pioneer Boys where he excelled not only on the field but also off the field, scoring high marks in his KCSE Exams and was inducted into TTA’s SRUSA program.
We are extremely proud of him and we wish him well in his journey! He is set to travel to the US in August and is currently training with the TTA Football Academy’s Under 21 team.
Derrick joins a list of 3 other Nova TTA Graduates headed to the US this August on Soccer scholarships which includes Cedric Mucui, Kennedy Obanda and Peter Kolenyo.
It is an amazing feeling that one gets a scholarship and play ⚽.
It is my dream to go outside the country and learn, grow and play the game.
