Out of the 500 boys soccer teams/clubs in Rome, there are only two available for girls. Italian mentality is that girls
cannot play soccer. Thank goodness we go to an American school so girls can play!
There are 4 middle school girls teams in the International school league.
And they only play each other 2 times a year in a half-day competition. (Natalie is #3)
Here she is getting ready to bounce the soccer ball off her head ("heading it")
They won one of the 4 games despite missing half their teammates. They had to run the whole time without substitutions.
They were a bit exhausted and Natalie had a headache, but they left all smiles. Tell a girl she "can't" and she will prove she CAN!

Way to go Natalie! You'll have to teach me how to head it....always wanted to do that!
Girl Power! I love it, not only are you playing hard, your (we always called it head butting) head butting it. Way cool! Nice job!
