Parents' Weekend

There are lots of great things about having kids from all over the country on our team. One of the disadvantages of course, is that our kids' families are unable to make it to the majority of our games. For that reason we always pick a weekend when we have two home games and designate it as "Parents Weekend."

It provides a great opportunity for our parents to see their daughter play, to mingle with the other parents in the bleachers and join in some Forester cheers, and the presence of their parents almost always means that our kids play with a little extra energy.

This weekend was no different. We had two games under beautiful end-of-summer blue skies, picked up two victories, everyone had an opportunity to play and show their parents how hard they have been working, and the kids had the chance following the game to meet their friend's parents and get taken out to some nice meals too.

Thanks to the parents who made the trip and to those who couldn't: you were missed! Above is a photo we took at halftime of the Grinnell game with the families and players. All of our parents will soon be receiving a copy in the mail.

Whether you can make it or not we always know you are cheering for us! Thank you so much for your love and support.
