Thats awesome! Congrats to you and her.

I actually got to see the womens world cup back in 98 at the Rosebowl when Brandy Chastain ripped off her jersey after scoring the winning shoot out goal. One of the best sporting events ive ever seen live.

That sounds great man. If nothing else comes from this experience she'll at least remember this for the rest of her life. However, the way you describe it, it sounds like she's got a lot of talent and I'm sure it will open some doors for her. I played soccer through high school. It's a lot harder than people give it credit for. It's even harder(due to the lack of popularity at least when I played) to make a name for yourself and standout. Hopefully she'll get noticed and you'll be getting some recruiting calls as a result. I'm sure you're grinning ear to ear with little butterflies in your stomach. Congratulations to you both.

Congrats and pass on good luck to her from us. It is a big moment for her, and I am sure you and her have been prepared for this a while.

I just bought my son his first ball the other day, and he loves it. Now after some time working with him, I am going to get him to a team here in Edmond. Thanks for the heads up on their soccer programs from you...

Interestingly, her team had a rematch with ESC Black at this year's Labor Day tournament in Plano. What a game. We lost, 1-0, but holy crap they played hard. Same tournament, we played a team from Hurricane Futbol Club out of Broken Arrow - 7 time State Cup champs. Played them to 1-1 in reg, then lost in 2 10-minute OT's, 3-2. Great team. Even though this club is closer to Tulsa, I noticed some of the kids on this roster live in Edmond, OK City, etc. Another one to consider. These are girls' teams, but I looked at the boys' side on their websites and see that they do very well also.

That's great that you're getting your kid to play - it's a great game that I enjoy watching more than anything else now (even played a little indoor).
