One of my favorite pics is not just of my DD but of her team and another team. This was a tournament we traveled almost 6 hours for. The coach of the other team got a hold of us and invited us to come down a day early, they opened up their practice facility for us on friday night to blow out the cob webs so to speak, after a long trip. Both teams were there and and practiced together and did some drills and little competitions, then had a pizza party. It was a lot of fun for all the girls. The girls and the parents from both teams kinda bonded. When we see them at tournaments now we will cheer them on and visa versa. I've seen girls from our team and theirs slapping high fives in passing while walking around between games. All in all it was just a real positive experience in a sometimes high pressure and sometimes overly competitive atmosphere.. View attachment 2032
By the way, we finished 2nd in that tournament and they finished 1st.
