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.
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.
