Sporting UWS

Emily trained and played for the Sporting UWS2 team again this summer. She missed the first three weeks of training because we were away - while the rest was definitely needed and really good for her body (particularly her ankle), she was behind with fitness and playing when she returned. It took her a few weeks, but she slowly started to earn playing time as the summer went on. More importantly, the coaches continued to put her in uncomfortable positions, which helped grow her game. The team finished the season undefeated but unfortunately lost the championship game (which was kind of sprung on them and several players were away on vacation). Looking forward to seeing these girls play again next summer.












UWS1 and UWS2













While the games were all good and highly competitive, the two games against Ole FC were incredible.  Almost every player on the field was a D1 player and the pace of the games and the level of play were impressive. Several college coaches were in attendance at the first game, scouting and watching committed players.
