surrounded by crocodile infested water!
The moms were ripping off their shirts during the games and rolling up their pants to get through the heat. July in Florida...wow!!! is all I can say!
The best part was hanging out with Ella, on our red-eye flight with her team-mate Katie,
watching Joanne and Chip in our hotel room together during off times,
and of course, watching her team shred on the field! They played so well, and had so much crazy fun with each other!
The first day they got a chance to be on a mixed team with girls from all over the US.
Her best buddy on her team was this girl from the East LA Compton Team
Their next game was nothing less than a shock. They played the team from Hawaii that didn't seem at all phased by the heat or competition. It was a shut-out!
Our team shut-out every other team they played, North Carolina, Texas, but our team didn't get to move on, because our sportsmanship points were too low!? Whoops, what's the supposed to mean? Maybe we were supposed to be like this Hawaii team which didn't even clap or cheer. Mellow people there and great athletes. There team came in first.
Even though it was disappointing to not be able to move to the finals or semi-finals, even though we had enough points to score first or second if we had been in the other brackets, it's all about the experience, right?
