In collaboration with The Urban Soccer Collaborative, DC Scores and United for DC, girls from the City FC U19 girls’ team were invited to the White House to witness President Obama honor the 2009 WPS champs, Sky Blue FC. Though the group waited anxiously for nearly two hours, the actual ceremony lasted a mere 15 minutes, as Obama arrived late and was pressed for time. Even though there was no opportunity for the girls to shake the President’s hand, the girls were quite excited to be in the same room as the President as he honored fellow soccer players. Not to mention, the girls also found themselves in the presence of women’s soccer greats like Tasha Kai, Carli Lloyd, Heather O’Reilly, Christie Rampone, Rosana and Kacey White. All in all, this was a memorable experience.
