Freeport, Bahamas - On Saturday, 11th
December, the Grand Bahama Girls’ league took place despite the rain prior to time of play and the sun did come out.
Because some of the teams were shorthanded due to the weather, the girls
joined forces and played scrimmage games instead of league games.
The Caribbean
Electric Mini Stars (4-6 yr olds) had their last day of soccer until
January 8t, 2011. They had their Christmas celebration a week
earlier than the rest of the league. Keeping the mood of the season,
the girls played games such as Elf, Elf, Santa and What Time is it Santa
Claus? At the end of the day, the parents and coaches played a game
and the Mini Stars beat the adults by the score of 9-2.
After the game, Michelle Russell
(Faith’s mom) treated the adults and soccer players to cupcakes. Soccer
Santa gave books to all the girls and they all went home with candy
bags.
Caribbean Electric Mini Stars
do not have soccer this week and will resume on Jan 8th,
2011.
The players from the Curly
Tail, Gecko and Iguana Division are asked to please be in attendance
this week as it is our last week before the Christmas holiday.The girls will take on the coaches in our annual
Christmas game. The session will end with teams presenting their coach
with a little Christmas gift donated by the league and coaches distributing
Christmas candy to their players.
After Saturday, December 18th,
the league will close for the holidays and resume on January 8th,
2011. Due to popular demand, the soccer season will extend until February
19th, 2011.
Parents are asked to make sure
that their daughters fulfill their commitment to their team and attend
on a regular basis.
The coaches and referees would
like to wish the soccer players, parents, sponsors and fans a very Merry
Christmas and a prosperous and healthy new year. Thank you for making
our tenth year so successful.
The league would also like
to extend best wishes to Nikita Barbes who is getting married on Saturday,
18th December. Nikita is a former star player in the league
who went to school on an academic and soccer scholarship and is presently
living and
working in Missouri. We are proud of you Nikita. You are
a great role model for our girls!
