Getting Serious
When I was 13 the opportunity to try out for the U13 (under 13 yrs old) Provincial team came around. I really didn’t want to, but my dad told me to try it out and to see what happens. I agreed and ended up making the team in the end. Unlike all the other girls on the team, upon hearing the news I was very upset. It was out of my comfort zone as no one else from Richmond was on the team, I knew few people on the team and it was just something I was not prepared to do. After a long talk with my dad he convinced me that it was a great opportunity and just to try it and see what happens-- sound familiar? I was really happy I listened to him in the end because the program was a great experience. It ran from April to June and consisted of training camps in Victoria and Kelowna, tournaments in Portland, Edmonton and San Diego. I made a lot of new friends from all around the lower mainland. I continued to play with many of these girls for the next 4 years throughout the program until U16.
