Their names are Tess, Tameka, Nicole, Yasmine, Geena, Fiona and Lacey. Tess is a natural athlete who always plays to win. Tameka wears her hair in braids to look like her hero, Cobi Jones. Nicole plays well, but not quite as well as she thinks she does. Yasmine loves to compete-especially against her twin brother, Yago. Geena is the oldest of seven kids and barely has time for soccer practice. Fiona would be a fantastic player if only she didn't have asthma and allergies to every green growing thing under the sun.
