Team KRUSH. ⚽
Listening to Coach Reyes at halftime.
Double Purple Power. ⚽⚽
Sometimes, we'd be up early on Saturdays for games.
Practicing at the crack of dawn.
Tatum and the girls. This is also the day when Grace scored the game winning goal. So fun!
The girls loved it when Ms. Lyndi came to watch them play.
Grace played as a forward for most of the season.
Faith played as a defender.
Sweet friendships were made.
This ended up being the last game in playoffs.
The girls played in the pouring rain that night and even though they lost, they had a blast!
The season started back in September and lasted through mid January. This was the first time playing a team sport for our girls and it was everything we hoped it would be and more. They went into it, not knowing a thing about the game. They quickly developed the skills and the fortitude, to contribute to the team as well as surprise themselves.
Having 15 middle school girls on one team from all different backgrounds made for some wonderful life discussions within our family. The girls got a glimpse into what their peers were like and what the world was into, outside of our conservative homeschool bubble.
It was a great experience for us all. Turns out that playing soccer was the least of what they learned.
They learned more about kindness, determination, teamwork, perseverance, sacrifice, grit, encouragement, and friendship. And they can't wait to do it all over again next season.
