We are the Golden Girls.
U-7. Character, competence, confidence. Coach Troy and Coach George run the hour. Cheer: 1-2-3 GOLDEN GIRLS.
We offer the Lord’s Prayer at the start of practice and games. A girl who is quiet during it is still fully on this team.

If it gets hard
| Moment | Coach move |
|---|---|
| Tears | Kneel. Water. Choice: sit one turn or try the next ball. |
| Two girls collide | “That’s why we call mine.” No blame. Next ball. |
| I’m bad at this | “You’re new at this. New is not bad. Try the next one.” |
| One girl takes every ball | Change the rule: a new player must touch it. |
| Ignoring freeze / kicking balls | Name + warning. Second time: sit one turn. Stay calm. |
