Meet the Futbol Sin Fronteras team! from Carly

Hi everyone. I´ve decided to start a new weekly post called ¨Meet the team!¨ Each week I´m going to do a special one on one interview with one of the youth coaches or one the Futbol Sin Fronteras girls so the world can get to enjoy these guys as much as we do. While coaching and playing soccer is lots of hard work, especially in this sun, we are constantly laughing, smiling, and having a great time.

This week, we are featuring Kevin. Posted are two photos of Kevin...one with his teams Mascot for the day, the Scorpion caught at the lake ten minutes earlier, and the other of him posing with his team Los Azules. Los Azules are the smallest but fiercest team in the group. What they lack in size they make up for in energy, noise, and team spirit. So, on to the interview!
