Emma participated in organized try-outs for a local soccer club, called "select" soccer - you can't just pay to play, like a recreational league (which she has done the past 3 years). It was pouring down rain the last two nights, she stayed out and pushed through for 2 hours each night being evaluated - and they called tonight to offer her a spot. She is so proud of herself. It is a Player Development League, there will be weekend tournaments and some traveling, and then the normal Fall league from September-November. She has to sign up this Friday and be fitted for uniforms - fingers crossed she gets her number that she's worn up until now... #4. It's a big financial commitment too, but if she sticks with it, there's a good chance of college scholarships. In fact the U18 girls team with the same club all got college soccer scholarships this year. That's impressive. Here's who she will be playing with:
