Becoming Family


This last week of training and participating in the Provencial Tournament was a great bonding opportunity for our team. Sleeping together and spending every waking minute together for a week tends to do that. Some of the most enjoyable times came while sitting around waiting for the bus or hanging out at the field waiting for a game or after dinner at night. Many times the girls would start playing little games with each other or joking around or sharing stories. Many of our quiet, shy girls came out of their shells this weekend and we were able to see their personalities better.

That is one of the true treasures of sports. It provides the perfect atmosphere that encourages people to grow closer in relationships. They all feel like they are special and are part of something special.
