The name's the game...

Well, the Coral Sea Stars it is! And it won on the first ballot; which was a bit unexpected - especially when you consider that some of the teams in U12 still haven't finalized. [FYI, my son's team is officially the Flame Throwers!]

My daughter has played two games so far. The first game was forgettable: nobody played to their position, nobody remembered how to throw in the ball...the only bright spot was our goalkeeper. She is fearless! She got stomped on by a bigger girl, but wouldn't come out of the game. Then, she took out another opponent who "forgot" that you can't run into the keeper.

This week's game was much better. We had about 80% coverage. Of course, Gwendolyn (my little one) stood on the corner of the penalty area for most of the game, but did get a few kicks in. The high point of the game was probably when Trevor (who is almost 2!) threw some of the green slimy Goldfish (tm) in my hair at halftime.
