We had most of the end of year soccer tournaments yesterday (means the end of the season - yay!) - David asked if he and some friends could enter their own team (rather than being in his usual team) - so I checked it out, and the club agreed to let them.
They are all friends at high-school, but different clubs, different teams.So they came up with their name, organised their team - only just seven, and it was a seven-a-side tournament, worked out they'd have no subs, but they'd take turns in goal.AND went out to the mall, bought the plain white T shirts, hats and socks with their own money, then spent Friday afternoon/evening coming up with stencils and spray-painting them - and they looked so cool!
The high school was great too - they let them use the art room on Friday afternoon to do their stencils, and even agreed they could miss their next class to carry on with it - I love that they appreciated a group of 14/15yos were using their initiative and encouraged it!
AND ... they won!
I'm so proud of them - who says teenagers spend their time doing stupid things because they're bored, teenagers, whatever ... there ARE some good ones out there.
Here's a couple of photos -
David is No.69 in the middle holding the trophy ... he was Captain/Coach.

How proud you must be Lisa! They did a great job pulling everything together and the shirts are great LOL! Well done!
I had to chuckle, good on them and their efforts.
What a stellar effort! I love their shirts, they look fantastic, so great to see a bunch of kids using their initiative.
How great! I love their shirts. Congratulations to them.
There are LOTS of great teens out there - they're just not causing trouble to gain attention. :D
