Sky Blue soccer players getting to know each other

The midfield on the Jersey Sky Blue team ran about the soccer field attached by a thin rope at their waists.

When one woman moved forward or another backward the string pulled them an even length away from a teammate. They were trying to get an idea of positioning on the field. It was a way of figuring out where they were in juxtaposition to their teammates.

It was another way of getting to know each other on the field.

The Jersey Sky Blue players don't know each other that well yet as they get used to their new surroundings. But by the middle of summer they should all be better players and teammates. The team is in their second year as a W-League squad and their first season of playing home games at Drew University.
