We started out our weekend in Carson, California at the USA Women's National Team soccer game. They were playing Japan in the "She Believes Tournament." This is a player from the Australian National Team who were playing against France. The US went on to win their game, but got 3rd in the entire tournament.
Our next stop was San Diego for the San Diego Surf Cup. We were staying with our dad's friend at his house in San Diego. And we also spent a very warm and fun day at the San Diego Yacht Club (and beach).
MVLA needed a goalie for this tournament and I joined their team for the weekend. They needed one player, but ended up getting two. Why? Well, because of my twin sister. She played forward and mid and had a great tournament like I did.
The board you see behind my sister and I has the names of every player, on every team, in the tournament. After a long search we found our names!
When we first showed up at the hotel where the rest of the team was staying, I was nervous. I didn't know if they would be nice or welcoming. Turns out they were! Each player had their own personality and special super power out on the field.
The weekend ended great, with an amazing third place finish. I was so glad my sister and I could spend this weekend with all the super fun teammates we met. Hopefully in the future we can play with them again and we can have even more fun!!!
