Totally looked fwd to this years soccer season - varsity promised to be good and my team even better (@ the JV level). I was looking @ a team that finished in 4th place in the regular season and promising even more this year. But.
Things aint always werked upout to be what day supposed to be.
Four of my girls were taken up to varsity, and my 'set @ 9 of 11 positions' evapp'ed. Instead of an experienced group of tuffgirls JV has tonnage of new faces. So, as Winters taught us, we improvise. Some of last years girls came back (Tuffgirls @ sweeper, stopper, side defender,and a midfield who switches betwixt defensivemid and side mid, a powerful but slow forward -- plus a talented and fast learning, tho' w.slite confidence in herself because she really should be on varsity mid/forward)) and we mix them with the new girls.
The new girls? That characteristic mix of 'never played before' and 'hey - talented!'. Paramount is a girl who doesn't want to be on varsity (why?) even tho' she more ready than the four girls who left us for varsity . She's a sophomore and we have her in @ midfielder, tho' she'll drop to stopper in some cases. Her freshman sister is also on the team - the other coach believes that she only plays because when young he parents probably made her play - that joy isn't there (yet). We're developing two new goalies - both seem to be good, and are freshman so they will hav elots of time to develop. Several tuffgirls (c'ant tell you how wonderful it is to see teenagegirls not shying away from being physically aggressive - this is so important in soccer)who still have lots to learn in the game but are a joy to be around - one who may be a defensive mid, two side defenders, a girl who came over from softball and is good, and finally another side midfielder.
Above pretty much defines the starting lineup and the girls who will get most of the time on the field. And then there is the rest of the team - bubbly all. Two of the thinnist longlegged girls ever. Several girls so shy I'm so shocked whenever I hear their voices. A sister set, where the younger seems to be better than the older. And lots os silly girls whoknows where thier talent and determination will take them.
Bit dissapointed on not having my set of killer sback fromlast year. Estatic that I have a new set of girls to mold into killers this years. And the small realisaation that I had a part in molding some of those girls from last year and now on varsity into a murderous crew. So, well, that's really what JV is for. It is.
