1 Sandy Thomas enrolled in soccer when she was in first grade.  She had loved to watch the soccer games on TV with her dad. Sandy’s dad was a high school soccer coach. It was his passion, as well as hers.  Sandy was elated when she convinced her parents to let her play soccer rather than take ballet.  Her friends were astonished as they had all signed up for ballet and expected her to, as well.

2 The team she was on this year was called, The Blue Jets. She was playing her favorite position, goalie.  She practices at home with a goal her dad made for her. He tries to make the goal and she blocks it almost every time.
