Here we go. Two weeks ago we were starting with building our team. It hasn't been as easy as imagined. Most of the local women and girls speak only Berber or Arabic and there is no place to meet them outside if you don't have any relation or contact to them. 

Fortunately we already had the contact with two of them who speak English. They are 18 and 19 years old and study in Agadir and both have already played football. They told us that there were other girls interested and motivated to play, but it was hard to get them together for a first gathering, because there have been massive storms in Taghazout these days. Anyhow we agreed on the first trainig sessions: Monday morning 9 am running exercise to get fit and tuesday afternoon 4 pm playing football at the beach. One little achievement for now.

Next good news: There will also be a youngster's team. We spoke to a charming local girl, who's french is just perfect and she brought a group of 7 young girls between 8 and 14 years old, who are all curious and sheepishly shy but brave enough to practice their football skills with us. They wanted to start right away but unfortunately the storm picked up again so we will start to practice with them next sunday morning 10 am at the beach, yey!
