Campbell River

That same year we traveled to Germany we took part in a training camp in Campbell River. Our coach was from there, which made it very convenient for him. Our first exhibition game was against a boy’s team. They were very tough and physical but it was actually a fun experience even though we lost pretty badly. It would have been pretty embarrassing for the boys if they had lost to a bunch of girls!

Our team was also fortunate enough to have spent the day with a soccer team of young girls from around the area. We spent the whole day together from having breakfast with them, going on walks and finishing the day with them watching a game of ours. We each were partnered with a young girl so we could get to know them better. I really enjoy working with young kids so this experience was awesome. I would love to do something like this again sometime soon.

On a side note, while we were staying in the hotel about ¾ of our team, our trainer and our manager got stuck in an elevator! Now I hate elevators to begin with but getting stuck with about 14 other people was absolutely horrible!! We were passing around one of the girl’s ice pack because it was betting pretty hot in there. After what felt like forever, which really was probably about 5-8 minutes, we were free. Getting stuck in an elevator is exactly why I hate those things!! But I always remember that moment every time I step foot into one.
