Bailey is in her 4th year of soccer and loves it more than ever. Because she is young for her grade, she has to play up every other year in order to keep her on her same team. This year was a year when she had to play up. She is so little compared to some of the players. Some of the players are in 7th grade. However, she is holding her own. She mostly plays half back because she is such a runner. Last year her coaches called her John Dear. He team, the Chili Peppers, are doing great.

Last year they played in division A and won it. This year, because they were younger, the started in division B. They took the division so they are moving up to A for the second half of the season. Here are their standings:

Game 1: Won 7 to 2

Game 2: Won 7 to 1

Game 3: Won 5 to 2

Game 4: Won 10 to 1

Game 5 : Won 3 to 1

This Saturday they are playing the team that took the A division for the first half of the year. We will see how it goes!!!
