As you know, Amanda somehow ended up oaching the Sr. Girls' Soccer team once basketball was over. Most of the girls had never played soccer before, but worked hard to learn as much as they could. The team also went on a fund-raising spree in order to raise money to offset their trip to Taiwan for the championship tournament. Our good friend Dane joined Amanda and they taught the girls the basics.
About a month ago they headed to Taiwan for the big championship. They were playing two divisions higher than the division they are actually in. This made for an interesting weekend. They ended up not getting last place which was beyond their wildest dreams. Amanda and Dane also told the girls that their goal was to win the Sportsmanship trophy. And they did.
Here's a link to the latest school newsletter (may 13) with a write-up about the tournament if you are interested:

Amanda (once again) can't stop talking about the wonderful girls on the team (most of who were also on the basketball team). She and Kylisha are already excited for next year's season.
