In the picture is what hopefully will be the beginning of our girl's soccer team. Yeah, there are 5 players and a normal soccer team has 11. So the math says we're short 6. That's ok, for it's something totally new and in a little time we should be fully staffed. Tomorrow morning at 8 will be their first official practice with their coach. I've seen them fool around kicking the ball and it is apparent that they've never really played. Again ok, that's what starting something that's never been done before is about, learning new things. The goal is more than just a sports team. It is to address gender equality, give them a healthy outlet and create a group that may be able to get together to collaborate in other activities. It definitely is a humble beginning that we hope will develop into something we can brag about in the end.
