This is a section of the football newsletter that comes out once a month. It shows the Under 8's development team (first on list) is currently in 9th place. That is Joshua's team. Hopefully next year he will move up!
Sarah's team is second to last on the list, named the Under10's Divas. They are currently in 3rd place having made 2nd place once in the season. They are hopeful that they will do well against the top two teams in up coming games. The season will end 1st week of March, then they will have another short season ending in June. These girls work so well together, and have done great.
Sarah plays goalie all the time. She absolutely loves it. Last week her manager arranged for a goalie coach to come and teach Sarah for about 30 minutes during practice. Not only did Sarah learn many helpful things, she felt so special too. Their team plays two matches (games) every weekend and Sarah has had many weekends with no goals scored against her, they call this a 'clean sheet.' Sarah has been nicknamed 'little 'un' by her team mates. Try saying 'little one' with out the 't' sound ( li - le) and one like 'un and you've got the northern accent here. Sarah is the smallest on the team and her uniform swamps her, but she is doing great.
Football is lots of fun for both Sarah and Joshua.
