IT seemed that something clicked with the girls between Saturday and Sunday. When they showed up for their Sunday game, they were completely different. They had begun integrate the kinds of play and teamwork they had seen the day before into their game .They played aggressively and even scored a goal.
It struck me that playing against the other team was a great learning moment for all the girls on the team. I think it is a general principle. Experience is the best teacher. The lessons they may not be different from what they would have gotten in school. But are certainly more personal and meaningful, because they had to work them out on their own.
