(side note: she's a lefty which confers a certain advantage in many sports, being able to shoot and pass from both sides is fan-flippin-tastic.)
WP has the ball here, looking to pass:
It was a good experience over all. Many of the girls showed tremendous growth in their abilities.
The older girls came to their games and cheered them on, made tunnels, showered them with good vibes and modeled good sportsmanship.
Big Picture Idea: In competition you learn many things about yourself and you find out just what it takes to be a winner. You discover how to be a graceful loser. (You decide again that you really do love water polo and want to sign up for the fall session.)
Here are the older girls making a tunnel for the 12U girls:

Very cool! Good job WP!
That is so cool Claire. I'm happy that she had such a good time and all the teams are supportive of each other.

A goal shot with both her left and right hand! *WOW* Great job WP!
"The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" -over the years I've been there and all spots in between with my children's sporting teams.
Wow. Sounds like a great sport for kids to grow up with. Hooray WP!
wow... your WP sure rocks!!!!!
eGo WP!!! You rock, babe!
Sounds like the perfect sport for the Dog Days of August ... Congratulations!
yowie! i'm impressed! water polo is such a cool sport -- and VERY demanding! glad your gal had a great time, learned the lessons she needed to learn, and has managed to prevail upon you to schlep her to practices and/or games this fall! (the fun never ends!) ; )
I am really, really good at schlepping. I've done it for a long time. It's my career path, don't ya know? (2 down, 1 to go)
I've had many lessons in how to be a graceful loser. :)
Cool. Lefties rock. :)
that's awesome, great to hear the older girls were so supportive and that your girls team did so well;)
Gee, I should be the most graceful person alive for all the things I come out last in! (Hasn't worked yet, but I live in hope.)
Lovely shots Claire, and it looks to have been lots of fun. These are the kind of things your kids will wistfully look back on, and pass forward to their own families!
