Her team has never won a game but they have great spirit. Last spring they were 0-5 with a rain-out and they were outscored 2-29.
Partly they are extremely inexperienced, and partly they are in a division with older (and much bigger) girls. At this stage, the difference between 10 and 12 years old is 20 percent of your entire lifespan to date.
So they are a young, small team, and today looked like another blowout (0-3) when in the second half they scored two goals to make it close. At that point, my daughter raised her hands over her head in a first-ever victory pose.
They didn't win in the end; in fact it wasn't close at the end, but the improvement was so great that I rather expect to see that victory pose again one of these upcoming Saturdays.
