Soccer Game

I am co-coaching the girls JV soccer team for the fall season, and we recently had our first game! The girls played against the Amman Baccalaureate School and tied 1-1. It is definitely an exciting start to the season, for the girls did not win a single game last year. They hustled, played their hearts out and were victorious in spirit- a recipe for confidence and team pride. We also had a lot of fans!! it was so wonderful to see faculty and students cheering the team on, especially because we heard that nobody attended the girls JV games last year. I hope that the positivity and sportsmanship in this game is a preview for what is to come throughout the season. On the first practice, most of the girls were reluctant to run and could not complete a single pushup- we have been working hard and bonding as a team and the morale is up! We are now running laps at the beginning of practices and ending our sessions with 10 pushups, and have even decided on team captains. I love the team and am looking forward to a fun and successful season.
