"Kick Like a Girl" Movie a Must-See for Soccer Fans

Let's see...a group of 8-year old girls are on a soccer team called the Mighty Cheetahs. They are dominating their league and even defeating teams that are older than they are. What do you do? Well, Jenny Mackenzie decided to enter them into a boys' league...great idea and one that was challenging for the players, for sure!

Want to know what happened next? Well, you are in luck. Jenny is also a film maker. She recorded the whole season and kept track of the events - on and off the field. The result is the new documentary movie, Kick Like a Girl. Jenny came to our UWSA camp last summer and showed previews of the film. And, now it is ready and being shown at film festivals and other openings all over the country. It's a great show...funny, smart and poignant.

For more information, see the article in today's Deseret News newspaper.

There will be two showings in the Salt Lake City area in March:

The first is at 4 p.m. Saturday, March 8, in the Foursite Film Festival at Ogden's Egyptian Theater, and the second at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 28, at Salt Lake City's Rowland Hall-St. Mark's School. Mackenzie, her creative team and some of the Cheetahs will be there.

For today's fun fact, defender Addie Hair tells us that posted signs or any use of public space in Argentina must be written in Spanish, the official language of that country. I think some of our players need to start practicing now!
