During the father's day weekend, Foster City's 8U Girl's Softball Team went to Burlingame to play the Billie Sue Tournament. It was a nice and sunny weekend. For us fathers, it was an entertaining and fun father's day.
This was the last tournament this summer for the girls in the team. Many of them, including Abby, will move up to the 10U division after the summer. So that this would be their last 8U games too. Moving from 8U to 10U is a big change. The ball gets harder, no more coach feeding, there will be stealing, walk, and all kinds of strategies. It is much more fun for girls who really enjoy the game, but probably would be a big shocker for some.
The Burlingame tournament went well. The girls had some really nice plays that made us grown-ups really proud. Our girls were also the only team among the 12 participating teams that got a "Team Spirit Award" trophies, the one with a yellow ball on top, for having the best positive attitude and good sportsmanship. One of the parents sent the pictures to Foster City Islander, the local news paper. Guess what, their tournament story and picture got put in the front page of the July 1st edition. As a proud parent, I of course went to pick up several copies. :)
