New Zealand soccer

So a few people have been asking me about what is happening with soccer for me in New Zealand, so I thought I should address it.  Many of you know I have been in contact with the coach of the women's national team, and he wanted me to come and try out for the team.  Now originally this tryout was going to be in June, but he never got back to me with dates, so June came and went without a tryout.  Then he responded to my emails and said let's do it in August... So here we are, end of August, and now I have decided to postpone going up to Auckland for a trial.  Right now I am playing on a women's team in Wellington (although the season just ended yesterday, and we beat the league champions to win the Kelley Cup title...very exciting stuff)  So then after this winter league, there is a regional summer league for women, and the team is made of of the best players in the area.  I'm not sure how the selection process works, and since I have just moved here, I'm not sure if I will get picked to play in it.  We'll have to wait and see...

As for the national team issue, 2 of the girls I play with right now are on the U20 national team, and from what they have said and from what a few coaches I have talked to have said, basically if you are living in NZ and want to be on the women's national team, you need to be living up in Auckland.  I live in Wellington, which is a good 7 or 8 hour drive from Auckland.  Also, I would be unable to get and keep a job of any kind while trying to play soccer.  I would love to be able to play, but logistically a lot of things make it very complicated.  There's always a chance though that it will still work out, we'll have to wait and see!

Here's some pictures of my team from the final game this weekend !
