The second team Taylor is playing on this year is the "feeder" team for her high school. This is done by grade, so she is on the 6th grade team. If we had known what it would be like, we probably wouldn't have done it. There's not much competition at the 6th grade level, and none of the games have been close. It's fun to win, but I don't feel like Taylor and a handful of her teammates are improving from being on this team, simply because you don't have to really try! It's a lot of time for not a lot of reward. The best part about it is just the socializing part for Taylor- she gets to hang with her friends!
They have played in 3 tournaments and won, which is cool. This last tournament, Taylor's coach (who is also her travel coach) put together a 6th, 7th, and 8th grade team to play against 8th graders. We won some games but lost in bracket play... but, I'll tell you, it was much more fun to watch us lose to a good team than to kill a bad team.
Here are some pics from the feeder team, so far!
This will give you an idea of what our games are like... this is 2 minutes before half time! We have about 6 girls on the team that can play, and 8 that really haven't played much/ever. Our coach trades the girls out regularly (and T doesn't get to play too much) and it will STILL be like this. It's insane.
