24-goal Real Madrid youth prodigy set to leave Bernabeu this summer – report

Gonzalo García, Real Madrid Castilla’s standout forward, has lit up the youth ranks this season with an astonishing 24 goals in 34 matches.

His terrific campaign in the youth league has propelled him to the cusp of history. Indeed, the 20-year-old is just one goal shy of matching Mariano Diaz’s record of 25 goals, set in the 2015-16 season, as Castilla’s all-time top scorer in La Liga.

With three matches remaining, Garcia will have ample opportunity to beat Diaz’s record at RM Castilla.

Gonzalo Garcia to leave Real Madrid this summer

Despite Garcia’s tremendous performances at RM Castilla, though, his future appears to be away from Real Madrid.

According to MARCA, Garcia is set to leave Valdebebas at the end of the season, with many expecting him to join a first division side in the summer.

Real Madrid, however, are expected to safeguard its investment by including a buy-back clause, a strategy previously employed with talents like Nico Paz.

This will ensure the club will always have a controlling hand in Garcia’s future, especially if he does end up making a big breakthrough in professional football.

But as things stand, Garcia has already become a Castilla legend, surpassing the one-season tally of players such as Emilio Butragueno (21 goals), Jese Rodriguez (22), Roberto Soldado (21), and Joselu (19).

As Castilla fights for promotion, García’s departure will leave a void, but Real Madrid will be closely monitoring the forward’s future in the years to come.

Given the way Real Madrid have brought back talents in the recent past, it won’t be surprising to see Gonzalo Garcia ultimately returning to the Bernabeu, provided he does manage a breakthrough in the near future.

This fall will mark the start of the $12.1 million renovation of the Northbrook Park District’s Leisure Center.

This carefully planned project will extend the life span of the facility — originally built in the 1960s as a school — with improvements geared to users of all ages.

While the Leisure Center construction takes place, classes and programs will be moved to other park district facilities. For details, check the Autumn Guide (mailed to all park district residents and available at nbparks.org).

Fall is a great time for children and adults to try out a new sport, or perfect their skills for competition.

Youth sports include baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, soccer and volleyball, along with martial arts and introductory classes for cyclo-cross and skateboarding.

Families can save 10% if they register their children by July 25 for soccer and flag football leagues in the fall.

Adult sports include pickup basketball, pickup soccer and softball leagues, along with classes and clinics for paddle- and pickleball. Tennis lessons are offered for youth and adults.

The Northbrook Sports Center’s year-round indoor ice rinks welcome young skaters of all levels, from toddlers up to 17-year-olds, with a Skating School that follows the official Learn to Skate USA class curriculum. Also, on Aug. 23 and Dec. 6, the park district will offer a free skating class for children who are interested in learning to skate, to help determine class readiness. (Three-year-olds must be potty trained.)

The park district’s senior center offers trips to a variety of destinations, with round-trip transportation provided.

This fall, seniors can check out the Chicago Premium Outlets Mall on Sept. 4; lunch and shopping in picturesque Long Grove on Sept. 17; lunch and shopping in Chicago’s Greektown on Oct. 1; a performance of “Catch Me If You Can” at Marriot Lincolnshire on Oct. 9; and Gurnee Mills Mall on Oct. 30.

As always, the park district will be presenting a lineup of events for families and people of all ages as summer winds down and fall swoops in.

September marks the return of Northbrook Brewfest, an adults-only event held in conjunction with the village of Northbrook on Sept. 6 at Village Green Park, and Touch-A-Truck on Sept. 20 at Underwriters Laboratories, always a gracious partner for this fun and educational event for children.

The Northbrook Park District’s Autumnfest on Oct. 5 at Meadowhill Park will offer family entertainment like a petting zoo, horse trolley, pumpkin picking, arts and crafts, music and more.

Autumnfest will return on Oct. 5 at Meadowhill Park with all its customary family entertainment, including a petting zoo, horse trolley, pumpkin picking, arts and crafts, music and more.

In November, grab the spookiest Halloween costumes for the pooches and runners in your family for the Halloween Pet Parade on Oct. 23 and the Halloween 3K/Fun Run on Oct. 24, both at Techny Prairie Park and Fields.

The park district also offers the Turkey Shoot free-throw contest on Nov. 12, when winners of each age division can take home a turkey, and the Thanksgiving Lego Party on Nov. 26, when the little ones can build to their heart’s content with more than 100 pounds of Lego elements.

A new offering this year in December is Santa Paws on Dec. 20, a special event where dogs can take photos with Santa at Village Green Center.

Also in December, families can enjoy the traditional Holiday Craft Fair on Dec. 6, a Hanukkah Celebration on Dec. 7 and Breakfast with Santa on Dec. 13.

Registration for the Northbrook Park District’s fall programs opens July 30 for residents and Aug. 7 for nonresidents.

Registration for fall programs and classes begins at 9 a.m. July 30 for residents and 9 a.m. Aug. 7 for nonresidents. For more information and to register, visit nbparks.org or call (847) 291-2993.

Established in 1927, the mission of the Northbrook Park District is to enhance the community by providing outstanding services, parks and facilities through environmental, social and financial stewardship.

On the fast track: Carrollton 12-year-old headed to Junior Olympics, 10th grade – Smithfield Times

On the fast track: Carrollton 12-year-old headed to Junior Olympics, 10th grade Published 1:11 pm Friday, July 11, 2025 Akaido “Jig” Mohammed of Carrollton flexes his muscles after placing in the top five in the 200 meter and 400 meter events at the AAU Track & Field Region 5 qualifier.

On the fast track: Carrollton 12-year-old headed to Junior Olympics, 10th grade

Published 1:11 pm Friday, July 11, 2025

Akaido “Jig” Mohammed isn’t your typical 12-year-old.

The budding track and field standout, who recently qualified to compete in the Amateur Athletic Union’s Junior Olympics, begins every morning with a 2-mile run. Then he gets right to his schoolwork without being prompted.

The Carrollton resident is already a rising sophomore in high school. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, his mother, Candace Mohammed, enrolled him in the Acellus Academy of Science and Technology, an online self-paced private K-12 school that prepares students for STEM-related careers.

“He was able to fly through a lot of his elementary and middle school courses pretty quickly,” Candace said.

He’s only in his first full year of participating in track and field competitions.

Last year, Jig joined Smithfield Packers Youth Sports’ track team, but an injury he sustained during his second meet took him out for the remainder of the season. He now trains with Chidi Okezie, a U.S.-born sprinter and Hampton University graduate who competed for Nigeria in the 2024 Paris Olympics. It was Okezie who recommended that Jig join the Technique Track Club in Hampton.

As a member of Technique, Jig earned two silver medals and one gold at the AAU district level. He then completed the 200 meter dash in 25.62 seconds and the 400 meter dash in just over a minute at the AAU Track & Field Region 5 qualifier June 28 in Newport News, qualifying in both events for the Junior Olympics, which will be held July 22 through Aug. 2 in Houston, Texas. Athletes with the five fastest scores qualify.

The 200 meters, we weren’t expecting that one at all. He snuck in there on that,” Candace said.

According to the Houston Sports Authority, the AAU Junior Olympic Games are the largest youth multi-sport event in the nation. There, 15,000 youth athletes from across the country will compete in more than a dozen sports. This summer marks the 59th anniversary of the event and the fourth time Houston has hosted the games.

“He’s always been athletic,” Candace said of Jig, who has participated in soccer and basketball through Isle of Wight County Parks and Recreation. He also boxes in the off-season and has started training with Jerry Forrest, a professional heavyweight boxer in Newport News, but recently decided to focus on track.

“One thing about Jig, he’s a very shy, quiet, mild kid, so it’s hard because he’s not really going to express what he likes,” Candace said. But then “he smiles, and that’s when you know.”

During the pandemic, “it was hard for him to get excited about anything,” but “track is starting to give me my kid back,” she said. “He’s growing into something that you can see that he’s proud of himself.”

Candace said Jig hopes to one day compete for Isle of Wight County Schools, but his accelerated homeschooling has put him in an unusual situation. 

In Virginia, public schools aren’t required to include homeschooled students in athletics or other extracurricular activities, but Isle of Wight County Schools has a policy allowing participation if homeschooled students enroll in at least two classes for the semester their sport or activity is in session, IWCS spokeswoman Lynn Briggs said.

But “I won’t make him repeat courses he’s already taken and I don’t want my 12-year-old among high-schoolers yet,” Candace said.

Candace said Jig’s dedication to his schoolwork and sport has inspired her to return to school. She started her first week at Norfolk State University this month, pursuing a psychology degree in hopes of becoming a licensed counselor.

HESPERIA, Calif. (VVNG.com) — Local athlete and coach Aaron Alston is set to open his new basketball training facility, A2R Performance Development, in Hesperia with a grand opening celebration on Saturday, July 12, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The facility, located at 10968 I Ave, STE C, Hesperia, 92345, will host the community event featuring complimentary hot dogs while supplies last, free merchandise for the first 10 children, and additional branded items available for purchase in support of the new small business.

Alston, a 2011 graduate of Hesperia High School and a long-time High Desert resident, said the launch of A2R Performance Development marks a significant milestone in his lifelong commitment to the sport and local youth.

“I’ve been training athletes of all levels since 2016, and for the past three years, I’ve been contracted by the City of Hesperia to run weekly basketball classes,” Alston said. “Opening this facility is a long-time dream that allows me to continue mentoring and inspiring young athletes in the community I love.”

The facility will offer one-on-one, small group, and large group basketball training, along with sport-specific conditioning and plyometric programs designed to boost speed, agility, and vertical performance. A2R is also home to the competitive AAU basketball team, A2R Elite.

Alston’s decorated basketball background includes leading Hesperia High to two Mojave River League championships and earning accolades such as First Team All-League, Mojave River League Athlete of the Year, and Citrus Belt Athlete of the Year. He went on to play collegiate basketball at Lower Columbia College, Southern University A&M, and Cal State Los Angeles, and has competed in elite Pro-Am leagues such as The Drew League and The Mecca.

In 2023, Alston was honored with a mural at the Hesperia Epicentre, recognizing his contributions to local sports and youth development.
