This morning we had our last practice with the little girls. After an exciting warm-up, we broke into technical ladders where the girls have to complete a skill in pairs. Just weeks ago, the groups struggled to score points in the various skills, but today they were breaking double digits! It's been really fun to see how quickly they improve when given the chance to practice regularly. Halfway through practice we broke into teams and gave the girls colored tshirts that they can wear at future practices. Most of them now have cleats, but many don't have athletic wear and often show up in their school blouses or tank tops. At the end, we also handed out some white tshirts, shorts, and socks so they can have at least one full athletic outfit. Maybe it will convince some of them to stop running in jeans and skirts! Particular thank yous to the Radnor Soccer Club and Asphalt Green for donating this gear!
After practice, we announced that we are turning the reigns over to four local Granada premier players, and two local men's players to continue Saturday practices. We introduced everyone and the little girls seemed very excited to hear that practices will continue in the future.
With just two days left, we're trying to wrap our minds around everything that's happened in the last six weeks. Tomorrow will be a day for goodbyes, and hopefully a chance to tackle that volcano before we go!
