Ten girls from Kahnawake's U18 soccer club went to Vancouver over the weekend to try out for an all-Native U20 team that is going to be competing in the World Indigenous Games in Brazil. The three-day tryout was with the Native Indian Football Association (NIFA).
All 10 girls made the team! They include four from Akwesasne and six from Kahnawake. Amber Cook, Serena Hall, Iakokwenienstha Porter and Jenna Thompson are the players from Akwesasne, while Farrah Csokasy, Iakothahison Delaronde, Paxton Kahentaiesen Phillips, Jadyn Nicholas Lauder, Rachel Leborgne and Kahentanoron Noodle Diabo are from Kahnawake. Harry Angus Rice was named an Assistant Coach for the team as well.
NIFA will be sending the team to the first World Indigenous Games in Palmas, Brazil starting on September 18, 2015.
Congratulations and good luck!
