Last Soccer Game

Courtney had her last soccer game of the season and her last soccer game as a Galaxy Elite player.  It's sad because this team has been together for the past 4 years (8 seasons, fall and spring). 

The way a team is set up is by the birth year of the players.  So Courtney should play on a 05 team because she was born in 2005.  But they didn't have one with Galaxy so she played up a year and was on a 04 team.  That meant she was playing girls at least a year older than she was and, because she has a late birthday, many girls were 2 years older.  And it was a great experience for her.  She was pushed to be better and I think it made a huge difference in her playing.



At their last game, the parents were trying to figure out if we were going to have a team for next year because many of the girls are going into 9th grade and trying out for their high school soccer teams.  When everything shook out, we ended up with too few girls to make a team. 

It was a fun ride and Courtney made some great friends.  I'm not going to lie, there are some parents I am glad we don't have to listen to yell anymore.  But all in all, it was a fun team to be a part of and it was unique because it wasn't a huge club team.  They only had 20 girls on the roster.

Bye Galaxy!
